Butterfly Tattoo – A Symbolic Beauty
Butterfly tattoos are some of the most popular tattoos, and they have to be, because of both the
butterfly's beauty and its meaning. No one can argue with the grace of a butterfly as it flies by
on a calm summer day. However, butterflies have also become symbolic of a person's soul, making
the tattooing of a
butterfly tattoo
take on increased meaning.
The ancient Greeks believed that a butterfly emerges from its cocoon every time a new soul is
born. The Irish think that butterflies are the souls of those that have passed away. The German
mythology somewhat combines the two butterfly beliefs, stating that those that have passed come
back to life as children that take on the image of butterflies to give children to those who
aren't able to bear them.
It is typically thought that when a woman gets a
tattoo depicting a butterfly,
she is expressing her free spirit, just like a butterfly's flight. Girls blossom into women just
the same way caterpillars transform into butterflies. Both are then creating a new life within
themselves. Because of this, it is thought that having a
butterfly design tattooed
Tattoos that include butterflies
are thought to have different meanings when tattooed on different body parts. Being tattooed with
a butterfly on the shoulder blade represents a dreamer. Unconditional love for living things is
represented by a butterfly image tattooed on the chest. On the lower back, a butterfly on a tattoo
symbolizes one's ability to be stable, survive, self-preserve, prosper, and trust. A woman who
gets tattooed with a butterfly below her abdomen is representing that she is still pure – this
tattooing tradition came from an old ritual of tattooing virgins out of respect to the gods.
Getting a tattoo of a butterfly in the same area came to symbolize a return to innocence and purity.
