Symbolism Of Butterfly Tattoos
Symbolism Of Butterflies
The symbolism behind any tattoo really is up to the person wearing the tattoo as they are ultimately the ones that decided to get the design done permanently on their body and butterflies can have different meanings depending on the person who got the tattoo. However, there are some very strong associations and connections between butterflies and humans and some of these elements give the butterfly tattoo a very rich symbolic meaning.
For starters butterflies are typically very short lived animals. They typically live from a few days up to two weeks or so depending on the climate and other conditions int heir environment. Either way they have a pretty short life. So butterfly tattoos often are symbolic for the impermanence and shortness of life which serves as a great reminder to live every minute to the fullest. It is sort of the insects world symbol for the Latin term "Carpe Diem" or "Seize The Day".
Many ancients believed that the stages that a butterfly goes through from egg, to caterpillar, to cocoon and then finally a butterfly were symbolic of the stages that a human soul goes through. Thus in today's culture butterfly tattoos often hold a spiritual symbolism for the journey of life.
Benefits And Flexiblility Of Butterfly Tattoo Designs
Shape Of Butterflies
Butterflies also have a great shape that can work well in a variety of spots on the body making for a great tattoo. They are sort of rectangular in shape and can therefore make great tattoos for two places that many women love to get tattoos done and those are the lower back and the upper back. However, their shape is not limited to just those areas as they can easly be done on a chest piece for a larger tattoo and since they can be sized from very small to large they can go just about any other place on the body.
Flexibility Of the Design
On of the greatest things about butterfly tattoos is they make a very flexible design. They can be done in a wide variety of beautiful colors to include colors that the person getting that tattoo might feel a connection with. For example if the person really loves the color blue then it is very easy to find a butterfly that is blue and so on. As spoken about above they can easily be sized to fit in a variety of places adding more flexibility in design to meet the needs of the person getting the ink done. Lastly, they are great and flexible as designs because it can be very easy to add on to the tattoo at a later date. You might start with a butterfly and then add some leaves, or fairies to the design and over time these tattoos can expand in to a whole tattoo sleeve or back piece. They really diverse and flexible and that is one reason that butterfly tattoos are so popular.

Het TattooSara, I love to look at tats and the artwork but the idea of having one myself ? Well tats just last toooooo long. I will have to stick to my pyrographics, burn the wood.
wooooooooooooooooooow
great hub!
I really like butterfly tats. It represents breaking out of the shell and flying free, at least to me it does.
My friend has a monarch butterfly on the top of her foot.
I have done that tattoo
Thanks for your support
Nice hub! I love the upper back tattoos, the butterflies look great floating across the shoulders, sort of like Dax with her spots on Star Trek, DS-9. Photos of lower back tattoos always look like the woman needs to pull up her pants. Maybe I'm just too conservative. ;)
