Butterfly tattoo?

Molly SH

I am lookign for a butterfly tattoo that has hearts and flowers in its wings. Does anyone have apicture or a drawing of what this might look like? Or do you think it would look too crowded? If so can you suggest another idea or picture. I like butterflies, flowers, and hearts (I am very girly) and had hoped to incorporate all 3 somehow.

Answer
I think it sounds nice but it will probably be a bigger tattoo than maybe what you want. If I were you, I'd find a good tattoo artist in your area and sit down with the artist and have it drawn up. Then it will be your own custom tattoo. The artist will have plenty of suggestions on the size YOU want it to be and tell you what can be done. Good luck!

Manly butterfly tattoo ideas?

Miss Lou L

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 3 years ago. My fiance helps me as much as he can and is very sensitive about my pain. So he wants to get a butterfly somewhere for me. :) But most of the butterfly tattoos I'm finding look so girlie. We still want it to look manly. Does anyone have any pictures!?
I forgot to add that a butterfly is the symbol for fibromyalgia! Thanks!

Answer
Ok, MOST tattoo artists will create their own design if you give them specifications. That's one of the rare times they get to use their artistic design skills. For the body of the butterfly, he could get the awareness ribbon with "Fibromyalgia" inside it. For the wings of the butterfly, you could use the awareness colour and have them drawn as wing-shaped flames. That way it looks like a purple fire butterfly. Above the tattoo it could say "Raise" and underneath "Awareness". That's my idea. IDK if that sounds manly to you, but it's something I think sounds cool. It took me a while to think up since I searched high and low for a photo. I couldn't find any either, so I just sat down and designed my own, lol.

Tattoo Artist Help Please?

Hi

I want to get a small tattoo on my foot, but I have a few questions about it.

1. I have heard foot tattoos can smudge-is this true and how much?
2. What are the chances of the tattoo getting smudged or anything?-is this during the healing process or forever?
3. How long is the healing process?
4. How long will the tattoo take to do-it will be like 1 in wide and 3 in long
5. Does it hurt-alot?
6. Do you recommend it on the foot why or why not?
7. I have heard you can't wear shoes or socks during the healing process-is this true? What happens if you do?
8. Will I scar from the tattoo needle? I have very sensitive skin and scar from everything
9. Will it need to be touched up in the future-how often?
10. Will it fade at all?
11. Any other tattoo advice would be greatly appreciated!!! This will be my first tattoo and I plan on getting it around next September

Thank you to everyone who answered you all were extremely helpful!!!!!!! :)

Answer
Smudge? Tattoos anywhere on the body lose their sharpness, especially very small tattoos. Detail will be lost. For instance, good tattoo artists won't do small text because it will run together into a blurb. you can't help that, it's your body's natural aging process. Otherwise, the tattoo can 'blow out' where the lines can look like they've strayed from the original design. Usually a result of a very heavy handed artist.
A small tattoo of that size, probably an hour, your feet do hurt because of the bones and nerves in that area. Not a lot of skin and fat = pain. Typical healing time is about three weeks (for the initial process, complete healing time can be up to two months on a foot, which is why swimming and sunning are on the no no list for that long, then wearing sunscreen, while the top layer of skin regrows after peeling), though foot tattoos tend to hurt for longer during the healing process because the artist is putting an open wound on you, you don't realize how often you use a limb until you have something painful on it. As long as you stay to the upper side of the foot, you should be ok location wise, your foot regrows skin at a faster rate than other spots of the body because of the wear and tear it sees. So getting it lower where callouses are can be horrible for tattoos fading quickly or ink not sticking well.
Inevitably you're going to wear something on your feet. If you can schedule the tattoo before a weekend where you can leave it mostly uncovered for the first few days, it'd be great. You can wear cotton or a breathable sock, you want the ink to get air to heal. Shoes, try to keep them loose and kick em off when you can. If worst comes to worst, the sock might stick to the tattoo, if it doesn't come off easily after you apply water to gently remove it, you might need minor touch ups.

A tattoo is a scar. In a worst case scenario, you might end up with a keloid type scar. They're common around piercings but if you've ever had anything like them before, you might want to really think about the tattoo. Otherwise, the tattoo won't scar beyond where the ink is applied unless you get an infection.
With today's inks and applications, most tattoos can go years without a touch up, but your feet might need them a bit more often if you're a fan of flip flops or similar shoes where the tattoo is going to see a lot of sun, or if you like cramming your feet in heels or other tight fitting shoes, they can effect how often you're going to get a touch up. Tattoos do fade. It's inevitable. It's up to your aftercare that's going to effect it and how often you'd need touch ups to refresh it. Lots of sun or abrasive shoes can certainly do damage to a tattoo.

You've left yourself plenty of time to plan, so be sure to pick out an artist you're comfortable with and ask them for aftercare advice. A lot of shops put up aftercare on their websites now so people can be prepared with the right lotions and such before they get their tattoo (I can't recall how many times I've had to run out after getting a tattoo cause I forgot to plan ahead of time). Some have different tips and tricks to make things easier for you and that can give you the time before the tattoo to pick up anything that can be beneficial to having at home before you get inked (like an ice pack if it gets too sore).

Otherwise, eat right before you go in to get your tattoo, drink something sugary, fuel helps your body tolerate the new wound Be sure to ask your artist what their aftercare is, they should be able to give you concise washing directions (typically 2-3 times a day with a mild soap, pat dry with a clean paper towel, apply thin layers of lotion, something scent free and dye free like lubriderm, etc) and other info so if you do need a touch up, they can rest assured you didn't try some off the wall healing process either. :) Have fun and happy holidays to you!

im getting a butterfly tattoo?

Jenna

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj274/bl0ndexbombxshel/tattoooooo.jpg
Thats the tattoo im getting this week on my upper back right below my neck...do you think it will hurt its my 1st 1???

Answer
People like you are the reason I never allow pictures of my tattoos.
Stealing someone's work is not only tasteless and down right disrespectful, but it shows that you don't have your own personality.

Of course it's going to hurt. It's a cluster of needles pounding through multiple layers of skin. It's a rite of passage, take it or don't sit in the chair.

Answer
Butterfly's make good tattoo's. I like that one but i would consider placing it on a different part of the body. Right in the middle of the thigh like in the picture is just so random. It looks like you drunkenly chose that place. Maybe on the back or a smaller one on the ankle. I have a tattoo on my ankle and i really love it there.

My grandma, mom, sister and I want to get a generational tattoo. We just aren't sure what to get, any ideas?

Sabrina

We don't want anything very big because we are most likely all going to get the tattoo at different spots. We were looking at a butterfly tattoo but we aren't sure. Any ideas or pictures you have would be great!!! Thanks! :)

Answer
Do some research and maybe you can find an image of a family crest.

I almost got a tattoo of the star signs (aries aquarius etc) of all the members of my family small enough that I could add to it in the futute if my family grew.

Or maybe a tree (ie: family tree) but you could have an image that represents each member of the family. For example I am obsessed with shoes so there could be a shoe hanging off my branch.

Anything that you could add too would be nice since you may someday have children and wish to add them to it.

How much does a tattoo usually cost?

butterfly tattoo pictures image

Taylor

I want to get a kinda small to medium sized butterfly tattoo on my left foot how much might that be and will it hurt?

Answer
A lot of tattoo places will charge you hourly, like where i went i was charged $175/hour, you definitely have to do some research before you get it though i'd go to a couple of tattoo shops with a picture of what you want and ask for an estimate thats what i did.

It does hurt a lot at first and your gonna have to keep your arm very very still, but after the first ten minutes your body kind of gets used to it so it feels like someone is holding a hot lamp really close to your skin, but its not that bad.

How much would a tattoo like this cost me?

flyjocelyn

here is a link to the picture. I also am located in the cleveland, oh area if that helps. http://best-tattoo-remo-val.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/butterfly-tattoos-tattoo-designs-photo-pictures-5.jpg

Answer
Probably upwards of $700. Of course it depends on what shop you go to, but it's a relatively large piece with shading and color. Something like that will most likely take several hours, and for larger tattoos, artists generally charge a base price, and then an hourly price. Your best bet is to go to a local shop and ask them, because no one here will able to give you specifics.

Where can I find the best butterfly tattoos?

butterfly tattoo pictures image

steph_pete

I was looking to have someone design my tattoo but I just think its going to be extra money and I might not even like the tattoo they draw. So im looking for a butterfly tattoo that I can put on my right shoulder blade. Im also looking for either chinese or arabic letters that can spell out Mimi. Thats what my grandfather use to call me. I am not sure yet what kind of letters I want but im not looking for "dirty" letters like cursive or anything english. I like soft letters that would look nice on a females body. I just think that american letters on a girl looks trashy (thats just my opinion). Please help!

Answer
You should look around the internet and modify one yourself. You should also be able to bring up a coupls of pictures you like to the tattoo place and have them do little changes themselves. I don't know if it will cost more or not, that seems like more of a decision the tattoo place makes themselves.

As far as the letters go you should be able to find a couple of translator websites that have those languages and translate something from English to Arabic (or whatever you want.) Since it is a translating website you can be pretty sure it doesn't say something random. Try Babblefish.
