A dark, almost black lotus flower, but rendered with sharp, defined petals that seem to absorb light. The "shadow" aspect comes from the extreme dark ink and the way the petals might blend into subtle, swirling patterns reminiscent of ink wash painting. The stamens or pistil of the flower could be subtly shaped to resemble a sharp blade or a piercing eye. The design could start with the bloom on the chest, with the stem and subtle dark tendrils winding up the neck.
