Butterfly Tattoo Designs

Another very popular female tattoo is the butterfly tattoo design. It rates up there with the tribal, rose and star tattoo designs. Dependent on what you want to achieve with your design there is a multitude of different butterfly tattoo designs. You can have an animated design or you can plan your tattoo on a real life butterfly. The animated styles range from tribal black ink designs to full color personalized images. The life like butterfly tattoo designs I have seen are very striking as in the example to the right.

Where do you start to look for your design? Due to the amount of different styles available it is very difficult to choose. Firstly decide whether you want animated or real life then take it from there. I’ll give you some photographic examples of both styles so hopefully it will help you choose the the design that is right for you.

What inspires people to get a butterfly tattoo? A butterfly symbolizes different things for different people. Getting your butterfly tattoo may symbolize the start of something new in your life whether that is a relationship, losing weight or starting a new life in a different area. Your tattoo could be the stimulus and motivation to stay focused on your new beginning.

You may just want the smallest of butterfly tattoo designs on a sensual part of your body to make you feel sexy. Sensual places that are alluring and seductive are the neck, hip or lower back and the ankle. What ever design and where ever you get it inked butterflies are a stunning way to add beauty and appeal to your body.

Two stylish designs that I have seen that incorporate butterflies are floral and tribal tattoo designs. Both work well and can be integrated seamlessly.Butterfly designs incorporated with tribal tattoo designs are generally used with the standard black ink and the effect can be outstanding. Although not as common color has also been used in this style to great effect, the tribal aspect of the design is done in black and the butterfly is done in color. This really enhances and brings out the colors of the butterfly.

Floral designs are normally very bright and colorful accentuating the images of both the flowers and the butterfly.

I hope this short guide gives you an insight into the types of styles of butterfly tattoo designs that are available to you. Good luck with your search for your special butterfly tattoo design.
