Butterfly Tattoo Designs

Dear Tattoo Lover,

Expressing your love for real tattoo art on your body can be a very fulfilling experience. Once you get your tattoo ingrained into you, it becomes a part of you and says much about who you are. You start to give more attention to that particular area of your body and admire it more than you use to - this is perfectly natural!

Why Butterfly Tattoos?

Butterfly Tattoos are extremely popular and can add a distinct 'je ne sais quoi' to a person's character. The real beauty of butterfly tattoos is that they don't have to be loud and obnoxious useless you want them to be, but rather subtle and stylish.

What Do They Mean?

Butterfly tattoos, when done by a skilled artist can be a dynamic piece of art. They symbolize the female's charisma, beauty and diversity and they are also highly symbolic creatures in many cultures, including our own.

Beginning in the east though, in Japan, one butterfly stands for young womanhood while two symbolize marital bliss. To the Aztecs of ancient Mexico however, the butterfly stood both for the souls of dead warriors who had fallen on the battlefield and the souls of women who had died in childbirth – the two most noble deaths of which an Aztec could conceive.

In Christianity it likewise stands for the soul which has escaped the confines of the flesh. In the west, as elsewhere, the symbolism of the butterfly centers upon its unique transformation. From one existence as the slow and crawling caterpillar, then to the dormant and captive chrysalis or cocoon, and finally the rebirth into a light and airy winged creature, the metamorphosis of the butterfly is one of its most powerful and uplifting meanings.

Accordingly, over time, the butterfly has also come to represent not only beauty itself but also the transitory nature of that beauty and indeed of all life. Does that sound like you?
