butterfly tattoos - meaning????

terry34por

I've seen countless women that have these butterfly tattoos on the small of their back usually or around the neck and shoulder area.

Is there any meaning to that or is it just something to look pretty?

Answer
Butterflies are extremely feminine!! And FREE!

I got my first tat a month ago and the artist was trying to talk me into a butterfly. I personally said no bc there are other meanings for it. ;}

I think for most girls it represents "girlie"! They are sooo cute too!

lotus flower or butterfly tattoo?

ive been through alot of crap but im starting a new phase, like a fresh start and i want to get a tattoo to symbolize this, a small one on my neck the can easily be covered so what new u think, a lotus flower or a butterfly?

Answer
I'd go with the lotus.
Lotus tattoos and rose tattoos are without doubt the most popular floral tattoo designs among women. The lotus and rose are very similar. The lotus flower is held in great esteem in the East as the rose is admired in the West. Symbolically they can represent the same thing. As the lotus rises from the murky depths so does the rose grow amongst uninviting thorns.
The lotus flower actually originated in Egypt, and has had a major role in the local myths and legends. The ancient Egyptians revered the Nile water-lilies, or lotuses as they were also called. The Egyptian lotus is known for opening its flowers in the morning and then sinking beneath the water at dusk and like roses were used extensively at burials.
Lotus flowers are symbolic of rebirth in Eastern beliefs, but aside from the religious meaning, the lotus also symbolizes truth and enlightenment particularly to those of the Buddhist faith.
The modern interpretation of the lotus flower seems to be one of estranged love or new beginnings. Many people get lotus flower tattoos after the break-up of a relationship. This may mean that they have risen above the depths or alternatively may return back to it as the lotus returns to the pond.
But, just so you know, just as many women get lotus flowers as they get butterflies. I myself have a lotus flower, with my own meaning for getting it....but guess what else I have. LOL, a butterly as well.

Getting a tattoo because it's pretty - opinions?

Q. I'm 16, looking to change my image. I've been a little obsessed with tattoos lately. I'm thinking of getting a butterfly tattoo on my wrist - but purely just because I think it'll look nice. However, I know a lot of people moan about that type of thing, "pointless" tattoos, getting a tattoo for the sake of it. Should I only get tattoos that actually MEAN something to me? For instance, I also want to get the japanese characters for "life" tattooed on me somewhere, partly because I like Japanese culture, but mainly because I've been having suicidal thoughts lately and I want to get something to remind me of the joys of living, I suppose. Is the japanese tattoo therefore better than the butterfly tattoo? I'm planning on getting both, but, in your opinion, is it dumb to get a tattoo just because it looks nice?

Answer
Don't worry about what other people think about your tattoo. I have multiple that are very meaningful to me but I also have a few that I've just always loved the way it looks and wanted it on my body and I'm not afraid to tell people that. One thing I would suggest, unless you know what you're doing the rest of your life (job wise) don't get it on your wrist. A lot of places frown upon tattoos in general but especially ones that are visible in a work uniform. A butterfly or japanese writing would look good on the back of your neck. Or your shoulder blade, that's where my first tattoo was. Partially because I wasn't allowed to get it on my arms because of work and it was a bigger area which allowed there to be more detail.

Placement of butterfly Tattoo on a girl?

Kelly H

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!!!!!

Getting my first tattoo?

bad charlo

My 18th birthday is coming up and I want to celebrate by getting a small, simple, and easy to hide tattoo. Originally I was thinking of getting the word create tattooed on my hand? But that seems like it would be kind of hard to cover up and getting create tattooed anywhere else wouldn't be as special. Any ideas? I was hoping for something related to art or music. Also any sort of information someone getting their first tattoo would need would be nice. Is getting a tattoo across your wrist cliché? What are the tattoo clichés? Chinese symbols, butterflies, what else?

Answer
If you want it to not be visible, avoid hands, lower arms, neck, and some parts of your shoulders depending on the type of shirts you wear on a regular basis. (And feet if you're addicted to flip flops, like me.)

I've seen a lot of tattoos across the wrist, and I don't think it's cliche...however, WHAT the tattoo is can be very cliche. I've seen a lot of simple things that don't seem to hold meaning...a flower, a feather, and chinese (or any asian/eastern) symbols seem to be the epitome of cliche.

However, if it means something to you, go for it. I have an anchor tattoo and someone asked if I felt like I picked it off a board and I said, "No. It means a lot to me. I gave up my normal life to live on a boat and it brought me closer to my mother, and on top of that I drew the anchor myself." It was two reasons why that tattoo (an average tattoo, in this girl's opinion) was meaningful to me. If you can do that, pick reasons why that tattoo is special, then ignore the cliches.

I have also picked two other tattoos of mine by things in my past that I always want to remember. Me and my grandma have been having tea parties (now just coffee parties) since I was one and on one ankle, just under the bone, I have a tea cup and on the other ankle a tea pot. I get a lot of questions about why I picked them and I enjoy explaining why, and it always reminds me of my grandma and me spending time together. I think those are the best tattoos you can possibly get - the ones that remind you of loved ones or things in your past that you always want to carry with you.

If 'Create' holds a special meaning for you and you like the look of it across the wrist, then go for it. However, beware that wrist tattoos are visible, and it will always come up when you're looking for a job and can possibly harm your chances (depending on where you live/what you're applying for).

If you're into music, you can think about musical instruments or a piece that you love. Someone at a music store has her favorite part of a Bach piano piece around her arm. It's only a few bars long, but it looks great and it means something for her.

Pick wisely, though! If I were you I wouldn't get one just because you're 18. Wait until you have had one in your mind so much that you can already "see" it on yourself.

Should I get a small butterfly tattoo on the back of my neck?

butterfly tattoo neck image

Q. I would get it up far enough so that if I let my hair down you wouldn't see it. I think it would look super cute, but the problem is that my parents are totally against tattoos and don't even know that I'm interested in getting one. WHat should I do?

Answer
No. Get it where it would be easy to cover up, but at the same time you would be able to show it off if you want to.

What do Johnny 3 tears butterfly tattoos represent?

butterfly tattoo neck image

Austin

Johnny 3 tears in Hollywood Undead has 3 of them on his hand and one on his neck, what do they mean? and I could not find the music category if there is one so I put it in this one, and if you don't know what they mean to him what do butterfly tattoos usually mean?

Answer
They represent he's VERY gay
I wouldn't even look at a GUY with butterfly tattoos specially if he's so EMO to call himself something as GAY as "johnny 3 tears" maybe they represent the times his daddy and uncle filmed each other abusing him, that's why he plays in a band called hollywood undead... Hellooooo?

How painfull on a scale from 0-10 would a tattoo be on the back of the neck be?

Becca Mull

I wanna get a butterfly tattoo on the back of my neck but want to know how painful it would be so i can prepare myself.

Answer
Probably a 6
I got a tattoo on my hip, while it's not the same place, the pain itself just feels more like a long paper cut, it feels more like a scratch or a slice, cuz the needle is moving to fast.
After a while it will get tender when they are wiping the blood off.
But it's nothing unbeartable. You'll be fine, just breathe and try to relax
