No, it is the "Khamsa" or "Hamsa", variously known as the "Hand of Fatima/Merriam/Mary/Goddess" (Depending on one's theological bent). Fingers upward as used here is a warding sign, downward bestows blessings.
Hmmm. A lotus flower would be pretty cool too - I have a small lotus tattoo in memory of my late father.
