Butterfly Tattoo

Butterfly Tattoo
I think this style of butterfly tattoo got its start when a girl lost a loved one and felt the need to display her emotions in an art form that she didn’t have to explain to anyone but herself. Lots of people have expressed that they believe when a loved one dies they come back as a beautiful butterfly to live out their second lives in a beautiful carefree way to make up for the stressful first life. I have seen a lot of mothers that have lost children have a butterfly tattoo put on the ankles to express their love for their lost child. Some will put the name of the child somewhere around the butterfly.
I think its a very colorful piece of skin art and the way it shapes around the leg is perfect. I think the artist did a great job with this tattoo. The more you look at this butterfly, the more you see why people love them so much. There just isn’t anything you can say bad about a butterfly. I like seeing a butterfly tattoo that has the butterfly landing on a flower going for the nectar. Now that makes for a very pretty tattoo also.

Butterfly Tattoo
The butterfly tattoo in the picture is a wonderful example of what can be done with this increasingly popular design motif. The butterfly tattoo can be used to represent several different things including beauty, the transience of the human soul and even transformation. But, what few people realize is that the butterfly tattoo design was also used as a symbol to identify certain clans or families in Japan. The butterfly tattoo is one that was used by many ancient families in Japan. The butterfly tattoo was often prized for it dual nature, transforming from a lowly insect into a winged and beautiful creature of nature. And I, for one can clearly see why. These little insects have a grace and style that few other bugs could even hope to match. And thanks to the beauty of nature, they come in a a whole lot of colors and even some of them have different wing styles. But, regardless of what the butterfly means to you personally, it can be a beautiful choice to adorn the soft curves of a women’s body. And it’s one that can be versatile in what it means to the bearer. All you have to do is find a butterfly tattoo that suits your personality and style.
