Placement of butterfly Tattoo on a girl?

butterfly tattoo designs for neck image

I am wanting to get a butterfly tattoo not too big i have the design picked out i just am not too sure of where to put it. have any ideas?

Answer
Good question. I was actually thinking the same thing the other night (btw there are some gorgeous butterfly tattoo) now getting a tattoo kind of boils down to body size... if you are tiny then on your hip works good, and on your lower back, lower back even works for average size women too. Your shoulder neck and foot work for any size because they are areas that do no gain alot of excess fat. I am getting mine on my neck (because i think it looks cute) and on my foot (to cover up an old tat) because i fluctuate alot. You can also get it on your ankle... and pretty much where ever you want to... Just some ideas!!!!!

What kind of tattoo should i get?

Anna

I'm thinking of maybe a rose on my ankle or a butterfly on my wrist. Any other good ideas or spots? I'm open to anything.

Answer
If you don't need to cover it for work or anything, behind the ear is a good spot and looks really nice with something small like a flower or star.

The wrist and ankle are both really good places too though.

The lower back is nice for something bigger as is the hip. Foot tattoos also look nice on girls and one's on the top of your back/neck.

Look on checkoutmyink.com if you want to look at other peoples tattoos, there's some good designs on there and they really helped me decide on mine.

Hope I helped and good luck :)

What is a good symbol for support?

Mike C

My sister asked me to get a tattoo with her, and I immediately jumped at the idea. She has been battling a serious eating disorder all of her life, and i wanted to show her that i support her in everything she does. I have a few ideas, but i would like some other ideas on what is a good symbol for support. Thanks guys!

Answer
Please don't get a Chinese symbol- that's just asking for trouble. One tiny mark out-of-place can change the entire meaning of the tattoo. Of course, if you actually are Chinese, or there is something significant about the culture/language that's a different story.

I've heard people associate butterflies with recovery from eating disorders- especially purple ones (lavender is the "awareness ribbon" color for eating disorders). Some people also get the National Eating Disorder Awareness logo. I also saw an episode of LA Ink where a girl got a tattoo symbolizing her recovery from an eating disorder (I'll add links below). Personally, I think that's something I would fit into a more personalized design.

I am designing a tattoo for myself to symbolize my struggle and recovery from depression. Over the past 8 to 12 years or so, I've struggled with bullying, verbal and emotional abuse/harassment (from peers and family), mild to severe depression, suicidal thoughts, and cutting. I've also had a lot of body image issues, and I've been painfully aware of how easy it would be for me to fall into the trap of an eating disorder (my problem is overeating, although there have been days when I hardly eat anything because I feel I'm too "fat").

For my tattoo, I'm looking at getting a feather pen because I have a life-long love of writing. The feather itself will be a multicolored peacock feather because the peacock represents beauty, resilience (peacocks can survive eating some types of poison), rebirth (like a phoenix), and being open. In the design, I'm going to include the awareness ribbon colors for eating disorders, self-injury, depression, mental health, suicide, bullying, and child abuse (as well as a couple other colors that I just like). I'm also adding my favorite scripture reference (Jeremiah 29:11-14), and I'm trying to figure out a good way to fit in a heart, cross, and sun to represent a quote that means a lot to me:

"I believe in the sun, even when it's not shining
I believe in love, even when I don't feel it.
And I believe in God, even when He is silent."

Maybe you can do something like that? I heard of someone wanting to get a tattoo of a bird flying out of a cage- which reminds me of the first stanza of an Emily Dickinson poem:

"Hope is the thing with feathers
that perches in the soul
and sings the tune-- without the words
and never stops at all."

It might be cool to do a bird flying out of an open cage or something as a design- with a lavender ribbon tied around the bird's neck or foot (so it's trailing behind), and add that poem in the design. I'm not sure how big you want to go for a design- this one might be a little much. There are also basic word tattoos you could do: strength, love, and live are a bit overdone (in my opinion). I've thought about getting "Captivating" tattooed to myself because it stems from a dream I have for myself- to be someone who is beautiful- and captivating- inside and out.

I'd pick something you and your sister have in common and tie it into something that you both feel is symbolic of her recovery. At the very least, adding in a lavender color will help (or you can tie in the NEDA logo). Just make it more personalized than just a logo, color, or some Chinese symbol.

Fitting in a broken mirror with a butterfly or bird would also be a cool idea.
