Butterfly Tattoo Designs – Expressions of Beauty and Freedom

One of the most popular tattoo choices among women are butterfly tattoo designs. The light, free creative spirit of the butterfly makes it ideal for small to medium sized tattoos. Women like a butterfly design for the same reason they like flowers, angels, cherubs and crosses. They have meaning, contain colors women enjoy and look great when placed on an ankle or shoulder.

When you think about it it really isn’t all that difficult to figure out why women love butterfly tattoos so much. You can incorporate a huge palette of beautiful, rich colors or go with the minimalist design by using black to define the shape. And speaking of shapes, there truly is an endless array of sizes, styles and shapes, limited only by your imagination.

Butterfly tattoo designs are graceful and captivating. They symbolize rebirth and regeneration that takes place when the green murky larvae suddenly turns into a magnificent, delicate creature and flies away. It’s magical, compelling and something that women everywhere find irresistible. There almost seems to be a deep psychological attraction to the butterfly.

What woman doesn’t want such a creature tattooed on her body, a symbol of grace, freedom and survival? A butterfly tattoo is appropriate for any age as well. It will remain suitable throughout a woman’s lifetime. This alone makes it an excellent option for young females who fear waking up one day too old for their tattoo. A butterfly is an ageless symbol and easy to carry with you through life.

Butterfly tattoos are highly customizable as far as size, shape and colors are concerned as we pointed out earlier but they are also ideal for just about every woman in that they can be placed just about anywhere on the body and still look great. You certainly can’t say that about most other tattoo designs. They look great on the hip, upper back, lower back, arm, stomach, chest or just about any other part of the body you can think of.

Another very clever way to customize your butterfly tattoo design is by incorporating text in the tattoo. Some clever tattoo artists can even create the body of the butterfly by spelling out a name, usually the name of the person that the tattoo is inked on or a loved one such as a child. Names can also be incorporated anywhere within the design. Perhaps in the wing for example.

If you are considering butterfly tattoo designs for your tattoo, follow your imagination and take your time to look through all of your options. Don’t hesitate to be creative by adding a name, or two butterflies side by side. The possibilities are limitless. It is an excellent tattoo option that is easy to make uniquely your own.
