butterfly tattoo cover up image
Answer
It is almost impossible to pre-design a cover up for something as detailed as a butterfly.
Your best bet is to go to all your local tattoo studios, study some of the artists work and find someone whose freehand work you like. Then give them free reign, most artists will tell you straight that they can't just stick something over the top of it, but if you do a little research first you could get a beautiful piece of art over it.
Lower hip should be an easier place to cover up though, lots of flowing lines that follow the contours of your hip and leg should camoflage pretty well. You could also consider getting it added to if you just want something different.

Answer
The first thing I would recommend is a quality tattoo artist (that's not a shot at the one who did the butterfly, just a statement concerning the type of work you want to get done). Every artist has different skills and specialities, so make it a point to talk to him/her for a bit when deciding on what to place over the previous tattoo.
The artist will be able to give you some more specific suggestions, but the main thing you want to do with a cover up is either:
A) lose the old tattoo in the details of the new one. For example, a small tattoo can be 'hidden' in the detail work of an eagle's feathers.
B) mask the old tattoo completely. A lot of people get big tribal pieces to do this...myself included.
Another thing to consider is working with the artist, to find a way to modify the existing tattoo (you could add background, do some detail work, add another piece to change the symbolism/meaning of the piece you have...many different approaches with this mentality).
It was always my experience that you have more choices when trying to modify an existing piece, than you do covering one up. Hope this helps...
