Butterfly tattoos are such lovely art creations. It symbolizes femininity, frailty and meekness. Since butterflies are aerial beings and love to fly, it can also be a sign of being free. Dipping from one flower to another, a butterfly loves sweet nectar, just like women who make themselves feel cared for and comforted. But not to forget that becoming a butterfly means it came from a caterpillar which is ugly and icky. But, like a woman, who blooms to be a beautiful being when the time is right the butterfly will do the same. It is probably why a lot of women prefer butterfly tattoos because they feel a certain kind of connection with it.
In fact, butterfly tattoos are so rampant in celebrities, even the normal average Jane would like to have one just so they can connect with their idols.
There are lots of places where those tattoos can be put. It is mostly best by the ankle, if you prefer a teeny weenie Butterfly; by the lower back - which by the way provides a smooth base for that kind of tattoo and the most perfect placement - if you ask Julia Roberts who has one right at that spot; and by the shoulder if you are planning a medium to large butterfly design. For Drew Barrymore, the former Guess model and perhaps the celebrity who made the butterfly tattoo famous, she had it printed on her navel area which is daring but beautiful on her.
For dominant women, like Drew and Olivia Wilde, who are not afraid of their womanhood, they place their butterfly tattoos on their stomach area, upper arms for Olivia, calves, thighs or just about anywhere else. Britney Spears has an Itsy Bitsy butterfly tattoo on her foot but it looks good on her, anyway, a frequent place for a butterfly tattoo. Still, you can beat Julia, Drew, Olivia and Britney. Pick your own tattoo design and make it yours alone.
