Does a tattoo of a butterfly on your chest mean you killed your father?

butterfly tattoo meaning men image

I roughly remember that being the symbolism behind steve mcqueen's tattoo in papillion.

Answer
Butterflies have a symbolic association with transformation and with freedom. I haven't seen that film in a very long time, but I seem to recall a theme of wanting wanting/needing to transform, and of wanting to "fly away", to escape. (Also, papillion is French for butterfly, but you may have known that already.)

I know an awful lot of women who have a butterfly tattoo on their chest, and I'm pretty sure that none of them committed patricide. I've never known a man with a butterfly tatt, but I'm sure they're out there, and the odds are very good that that they're not murderers, either.

What is the meaning to a mermaid tattoo? I am just interested in knowing if there is any specific meaning.?

I am just curious to know what if there is any special meaning or if it is just a design that people choose.

Answer
Sailors chose mermaids to carve on various items, way back when, because they represented something the men couldn't have while at sea, a woman. Part fish and part human female, she could satisfy the desires or these poor deprived sailors, since it was seldom women were allowed aboard and the common sailors were not to get near the ones that were. Those were either family members of the ship's owner or captain, or the seldom seen female passenger traveling with her father or husband. Now I believe it is a choice of the individual and due to the spirit of freedom the mermaid, (and the butterfly, fairy, unicorn, eagle, wolf, puma, etc., etc)., represents to the person that is getting the tattoo.
