Choosing Your Butterfly Tattoo
If you are considering getting a butterfly tattoo, you are well aware
of the endless varieties you can choose from. Ultimately, though, you
want a piece of body art that reflects your unique personality. Before
you get just a generic butterfly tattoo, consider the following tips on
how to get the perfect artwork on your body.
One of the most important decisions you will need to make is how
large you want your butterfly tattoo to be. Smaller tattoos are less
conspicuous and sometimes seen as more feminine. However, the smaller
the tattoo the less intricate and detailed your design will likely be.
So, if you want a smaller tattoo, do not expect to have broad wings with
extensive patterns. Meanwhile, a larger tattoo seems to require
considerable detail. Plain butterflies, such as those considered
“cartoon” designs, are not suited for the largest tattoos as they may
look boring, unfinished, or simply immature.
Another
item you need to consider is whether or not you want a colorful tattoo.
Black ink only butterflies can be sophisticated, bold, and beautiful.
Many people who want a black tattoo end up with a Celtic or tribal
butterfly design. These are usually more abstract and feature a lot of
patterns. At the same time, black tattoos are less feminine and not a
top choice for people who want a sexy tattoo. Instead, bold colors or
pastels are a better choice. Colored butterflies look great and you can
choose any shade you like.
You will also want to think about why you are getting a butterfly
tattoo. If you want it to be a means of attracting people and looking
sexy, a tribal tattoo is a poor choice. At the same time, if the tattoo
is a reflection of personal growth, you may not want a flashy or large
design. It is also important to consider your own, personal interests.
Cartoon butterflies are suited for girls who are still very young at
heart. Those who love fantasy may want a fairy-butterfly design or a
wings-only tattoo. Chains of butterflies are great for people who want a
complex look, and realistic butterflies suit those with a passion for
science and nature.
Ultimately, the design you choose should take into consideration all
of the above details. Do not get a butterfly tattoo you are not 100%
satisfied with. Remember, this is a permanent decision and one that
should reflect your true personality. |
