lower back butterfly tattoo



Lower Back Butterfly Tattoo Design

Due to the developmental existence of the butterfly, plenty of people select to have a lower back butterfly tattoo to emphasize their own personal growth. Perhaps they have begun a new chapter in their life; perhaps they need to show that they’re stronger than they were before. The butterfly symbolizes the ability to bounce back.

PERSONAL GROWTH

There is no escaping the grace of the butterfly. Its flight is graceful & its markings are attractive. It is therefore judged by most as the epitome of beauty & grace; a prime symbol of femininity.

GRACE

Despite the beauty & delicate nature of the butterfly, it’s able to fly thousands of miles to warmer climates & possibly have an effect on the whole environment (the butterfly effect). Having a butterfly tattoo demonstrates your personal strength & resilience.

STRENGTH

Deciding which lower back butterfly tattoo to be tattooed with, the options are limitless! This is overwhelming, but bear in mind that your tattoo has to be the tattoo you adore.

ENDLESS OPTIONS!

First up, it is a nice idea to decide whether you need to have the butterfly on its own or with some other elements.

ALONE OR WITH FRIENDS?

Plenty of women select to include the picture of the butterfly because they feel it is a clearer statement of creativity. Nevertheless, you may need to think about incorporating the butterfly with a chrysalis to accentuate the developmental element of butterflies.

A few folks have come up with very intricate designs where the main butterfly is constituted by plenty of little butterflies.

SIZE?

In addition, you could merge the butterfly with bits of its normal living environment; plants, pollen & sunshine are all excellent inclusion that are suited to a butterfly tattoo, & which also emphasize the curvy nature & feminine nature of your lower back.

Being tattooed with a smaller version would demonstrate its elegance, but having a large butterfly will demonstrate its strength. It’s your choice, but keep in mind that you’ll have this tattoo for life (or until you have it expensively & painfully taken off by laser surgery!).

Next, you will must select on how wide you need the butterfly.

The last choice you will be necessary to make is whether the tattoo should be black. There's one schools of thought on the use of color in tattoos.

COLORS?

The other is that colors increase the intricacy & beauty. It is up to decide for yourself which you agree with.

The first states that colors diminish the absolute beauty of a tattoo.

Related with this is the choice of how bright you need the tattoo to be. For plenty of, feint tattoos emphasize femininity & poise.

Obviously, butterflies provide a wide choice of colors from which to select however if you would prefer to include colors that no known species has, that’s your choice & will ensure your inking is as perfect for you as possible.

Butterfly Tattoo






Butterfly tattoos are primarily female tattoos and they come in a great variety of shapes and sizes. Insects are not the most popular tattoo design, except for butterflies and dragonflies. Butterfly tattoos are the 4th most popular tattoo design, after tribal, star and cross tattoos and they are probably the most popular feminine design.

The butterfly tattoo is pretty and feminine without being overly flowery or sentimental. Butterflies have always been an inspiration for visual arts, such as the hieroglyphics of Ancient Egypt a couple of thousand years ago.

Butterfly tattoos are a good choice for a first tattoo because the design doesn't need to be big to be striking. A small butterfly tattoo (life sized or smaller) on an ankle or shoulder can be a pretty and graceful accent to your natural beauty.

Butterfly tattoos can have a lot of meanings, depending on the person or culture. Here's an overview:

  • Often a butterfly tattoo is a symbol of rebirth and transformation: the "ugly" and slow caterpillar transforms inside its cocoon to the beautiful creature that a butterfly is. Having a tattoo of a butterfly symbolizes a new life, a new beginning after having gone through some rough times.
  • Delicate beauty: a butterfly is small and very delicate, but also very colorful and full of beautiful details. On the other hand, it is not so delicate like most people think: contrary to the widespread belief, you can't kill a butterfly by touching its wings.
  • A butterfly tattoo can be a symbol of freedom.
  • In some cultures, like the Christian, the butterfly symbolizes a person's soul. The Greek word for butterfly for example, also means soul.
  • In Japan they believe that if a butterfly flies into your guestroom, the person you love the most will come to you soon.
  • Also in Japan, a large swarm of butterflies is seen as a bad omen.
  • The Russian word for butterfly resembles the word for grandmother.
  • In China, two butterflies fluttering together are a symbol for love.
  • In some cultures it means good luck when a butterfly lands on you. Imagine the luck you'll be having when you have one on you permanently.
  • The phrase "having butterflies in your stomach" is a way of saying you are in love (or just very very nervous).
  • For the ancient Aztecs, butterflies were the souls of deceased warriors or women who died while giving birth.
  • For some people a butterfly means peace.
  • And for some people the butterfly resembles a woman's genitals
