One of the most popular tattoo choices among women are butterfly tattoo designs. The light, free creative spirit of the butterfly makes it ideal for small to medium sized tattoos. Women like a butterfly design for the same reason they like flowers, angels, cherubs and crosses. They have meaning, contain colors women enjoy and look great when placed on an ankle or shoulder.

One of the most popular tattoo choices among women are butterfly tattoo designs. The light, free creative spirit of the butterfly makes it ideal for small to medium sized tattoos. Women like a butterfly design for the same reason they like flowers, angels, cherubs and crosses. They have meaning, contain colors women enjoy and look great when placed on an ankle or shoulder.
When you think about it it really isn't all that difficult to figure out why women love butterfly tattoos so much. You can incorporate a huge palette of beautiful, rich colors or go with the minimalist design by using black to define the shape. And speaking of shapes, there truly is an endless array of sizes, styles and shapes, limited only by your imagination.
The butterfly symbolizes rebirth. From the green, pulpy chrysalis emerges the exquisite, delicate butterfly, as light as a feather and as perfect as a rose. It is easy to see why women, in particular, love the butterfly. They see them as symbolic of a particularly difficult change and growth period that they have gone through from which they were able to emerge stronger and more graceful than before. Butterfly tattoo designs represent the emergence from struggle and pain.
A butterfly tattoo is one that is relatively ageless. It's a design a woman can get when she is young and grow old without it looking dated or inappropriate. Unlike so many other designs, it will hold up and for a life time. Women of all ages and stages of life love butterflies.
Butterfly tattoos are a perfect option for women because they are customizable as well. She can pick the size, the shape, and the colors, and no matter where it is placed on the body, a butterfly looks fantastic. Most other tattoo options are not nearly as versatile. Their delicate and graceful shape looks perfect on the hip, the stomach, the back, the arm, the chest or any other place they are put.
Another very clever way to customize your butterfly tattoo design is by incorporating text in the tattoo. Some clever tattoo artists can even create the body of the butterfly by spelling out a name, usually the name of the person that the tattoo is inked on or a loved one such as a child. Names can also be incorporated anywhere within the design. Perhaps in the wing for example.
There really is an endless amount of possibilities that you can come up with. Be clever. Do something completely original and make it your own. It is suggested that you look at as many butterfly tattoo designs as you can possibly find and start jotting down ideas of how you would like yours to look. You will see it forming right before your eyes. Then all you have to do is find a good tattoo artist and make it come to life.
