I am planning on getting a butterfly tattoo on my lower back. I want the tattoo because of the meaning of a butterfly. It signifes change and i have gone through many changes this past year in the life. Both my grandparents were diagnosed with cancer, my aunt passed away and i have started University. There have been many other changes but i just though i would list the major ones. Neways I was wondering if anyone knew where i could find free stencils for butterfly's.

Ideas for adapting existing tattoo?

Q. A year or so ago I got my spine tattooed - butterflies spaced from the bottom of my neck to the small of my back, kind of randomly placed around the spine and linked in places with sweeping lines. It really didn't turn out the way I'd hoped, The art work on each individual butterfly is childlike and cartoonish, although I still love the idea of WHERE it is. Now I'm wondering about having it adapted in some way. All I can come up with is having some sort of snake/serpent to cover them but I'd love to have some other ideas too. Anyone got any?

Answer
Hi

The butterfly idea sounds cute. How about you get the child like butterflys covered with a leave design and mix this in with the swirls to like make an entanglement of twigs and stems and have new decently drawn butterflys added on where you have space. It will look girlie and cute.

Id go to a really good tattoo artist who will give you ideas and draw you some new ideas. Always go to one who does their own art rather than just using the ready made stencil tats that a lot of places use.

tattoo question?

crazy_abou

I am thinking about getting my next tattoo on monday but have a slight concern. Its going to be a smallish sized tribal butterfly and im wandering how they will put it onto my skin.
They didnt stencil my previous one, but that was only small. Problem is i want the tattoo to come out shaped right etc. Do tattooists that do not use stencils still get them done ok?

Answer
I have never been to a tattoo place where the didn't stencil mine on first. If you are worried about thatthen maybe you should go to a different place. I would figure with something tribal it probably has a lot of detail so they will probably draw it on first.

When getting a tattoo....?

Anna

Do you need to have the exact outline you want ready? Or can you tell them the main idea you would like and have them draw it? For example: I would like to get a butterfly tattoo on my left back-shoulder. I know that I want it to be more outline-y (is that called tribal?) and that I want it to be facing more to the side then straight on. Kind-of like this one: http://niccotattoos.co.cc/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Tribal_Butterfly_Tattoo_by_xCyniX3573.jpg . Except I think I'd like it to be facing the other direction and to not look exactly like that one. So could I show the artist that one and get him to draw one for me or no? Thanks!

Answer
Oh yeah, whoever does your tattoo can draw it for you. And if not, well, personally I'd want to go to another artist. I think I'd just feel better knowing that the person who is tattooing me has some artistic talent, and not just the ability to trace lines.

It's helpful, i'm sure, to have a picture.. almost half of my tattoos were more the tattooists version of my idea. Like for example, I wanted some random leaves/vines to tie in a few old pieces, and the artist just drew them up freehand on me.. (His skill def means I'm going back to him for my next one.)

Anyway, yes, whoever does your tattoo should for sure be able to draw you up what you want, or I'd go elsewhere. I've never heard of a place where stencils were necessary :D

um.. just for fun :D

what are your tattoos?
how old were you when you got them?
any specific reason for getting them?
how long did you think about it before you got them?
do you regret it?

Answer
My very very first tattoo was in 1982 - I was 17. It was just plain old stencil butterfly, but in those days "good girls" didn't get tattooed. I was the only woman with a tattoo that most of the people I came into contact with ever knew, and people tended to make incorrect judgments of me. In 1991 I had the butterfly incorporated into a bigger tattoo of a fairy frolicking amongst the flowers. It was done free hand by an artist in Ann Arbor who was an art teacher for several years. She said she was going to make it look like she had drawn the tattoo my leg with sharpie markers and 19 years later it still looks like somebody just drew it on my leg - although some of the most detailed work is starting to deteriorate. My most recent one was last February - it is a tattoo of little red riding hood and the big, bad wolf. The first one I didn't think about at all, the others I thought long and hard about. Not to decide if I wanted them, but to figure out *exactly* what I wanted. I am in the process of planning my next one and have begun researching artists. I use a different artist each time, but I use really, really good artists. You get what you pay for! No regrets.

Answer
Damn. You want me to write a book. I'll give a few of them a shot. Number one two and three, I've always been an artist, and have friends I grew up with also in the industry. I've always liked skin art. Apprenticed two years. Grapefruit and pig ears, although the drag is different on human skin. Professionally? Ten years. My parents love it. I was a line mechanic, built engines. His work and personality. It's a little nuts when everyone is busy. I shook like a leaf. I can't narrow it down to one. WE get all kinds of strange requests, genitalia ranks at the top. No, there is no place I'll rule out entirely. I hate doing feet. People don't wash their feet sometimes. I have over a hundred hours of ink. It comes out to about forty stencils or so. I tattooed gophers coming out of a guys anus once, that was weird. I got most of my ink while in the industry. Worst tattoo experience, a guy passed out sucking on a morphine patch. Yes, we've all tattooed ourselves at some point. Butterflies and fairies and skulls, oh my! The people you meet are usually fairly outgoing and friendly. Your back takes a hell of a beating. A few, but not many. We watch pretty close, and usually we see someone fixing to go down before they know they are. I shove the bottle of alcohol under their nose. It works. Whew. I can't believe I got through all those. But they're normal questions. Take good care.

Where can I find nice butterfly designs?
