Not only are these designs being added to women's bodies, they are now finding a popularity among males. Butterfly tattoo designs have a huge style range from it's natural, realistic versions to highly stylized fantasy or abstract designs such as tribal style butterflies. The vast amount of choices and options makes finding a design that appeals to your senses a daunting task just do the huge amount of artwork that focuses on this subject.

The butterfly itself has perfect symmetry in it's design and gorgeous vibrant colors. Capturing the natural beauty of a butterfly design in a tattoo can result in a beautiful piece of realistic tattoo artwork. Some fans of the butterfly have chosen realistic butterfly's - multiple - flying up the torso or up the back adding to the beauty using different patterns and sizes. Varying sizes can add to the effect of realism with larger butterfly's looking closer, smaller butterfly's in the distance.

The symbolic meaning of the butterfly means different things in various cultures, but the meaning to all always take a positive one. The butterfly is a symbol of change or transformation. The origins of this is the beautiful butterfly emerging from a plain and bland caterpillar form. Butterflies are often a choice by people undertaking a new and positive phase that they believe will be a "transformation" or the beginning of a new experience in their life. People change or personal transformation that they feel is a turning point and they want to have a constant reminder and symbol of this phase of their life.

The other side of the coin - some people choose butterfly tattoo designs strictly for the sheer beauty of them. Sometimes the beauty of the design itself is enough.

Butterfly,Flower and star Tattoos - A Gorgeous Combination



Flower and butterfly tattoos work well together. If you could only stand for one thing, what would it be? Your tattoo is a reflection of your thoughts and your beliefs. To come up with a tattoo that is uniquely you, you want to ask yourself, if I could pick only one symbol to express myself what would it be. If you can't come up with just one, that's fine, you may find that you're a blend of a couple different symbols because you have a blend of a couple different personalities. Let your tattoo express that. You can combine different tattoos to come up with your true expression.

There are two elements in nature that are used to express a lot of different meanings through tattoos - flowers and butterflies.

There is an enormous choice of flower tattoo designs available. Flower tattoos are very flexible. Not only are there hundreds of different flowers but each has a symbolic meaning which can give you a number of ways to show your true self to the world. If you combine two different flowers together, you are not only mixing different colors but different symbols to capture a unique feeling. Do a little research on the meaning of flowers so you can be sure of the statement you are making to the world with your tattoo.

Butterfly tattoos can symbolize so many things. Everyone knows how a caterpillar changes into a beautiful butterfly, only to live for a short time. A butterfly tattoo can symbolize a new beginning or embarking on a new adventure. It can also express the fragility of life.

You can add two different flowers together or two different butterflies and have a great tattoo. But when you add a flower and a butterfly together, you open up a whole new world of possibilities. Not much is prettier than a picture of a butterfly about to land and taste the sweet nectar of a flower.

Women with beautiful tattoos are often considered to be more confident, more feminine and more attractive. It is hard to find a more sensual being than a woman with a flower and butterfly tattoo placed just so you can see it on the shoulder, lower back or ankle.
