Which tattoo is better?

3d butterfly tattoo design image

I'm not getting the design of the butterfly just the way they are positioned and the way the shadow looks.

The first one

Can someone give me some advice?

I am getting a tattoo of the roman numerals MMIX. I want a little advice though. I want a small tattoo, but I was wondering if I should add something more to it. This tattoo is a HUGE deal to me because I finally got a college degree after only having a G.E.D. also I am the first in my family to go to college. I was wondering what I could add to it, and I have thought of a butterfly, but I wanted someone else's opinion, thanks!
I am a 32 year old female

Answer
There's different ways to do this:

How you do the letters could be blocky, light and airy, with shading, 3D, made to look like stone or wood, etc. You can use colors solid or with fading. I would explore different lettering techniques before committing.

etc.
Also, you could put a flower or a bird or something else that is meaningful to you with it.
Take any and all images and ideas with you to your tattoo artist, and have him/her help you work out a custom design. Remember that letters should not be smaller than 1/2" with good skin space around to hold up well over time and not blur.

luck~
