Butterfly tattoo: location, size, design and colors

Butterfly tattoo: colours

While getting a butterfly tattooed you can use a wide array of colours with no restrictions, as a butterfly is associated with colours and life. The individual can pick the color combination of their own choice as it will add to the uniqueness of your personality and creativity. One thing to be kept in mind is that you should not use clashing colors. Follow a definite line of choosing a base color first and then the other colors you want to incorporate. You can also take help of the professional tattoo artist to help in choosing colors which compliment each other. Some butterflies look better in black because it accentuates the area in which it is placed, especially if it's on the lower back or the stomach.

Butterfly tattoo: tips about size and locations on the body

The butterfly is one of the most beautiful metaphors that can be symbolised as a tattoo on the human body. Many individuals like to have colourful butterflies applied to many differing parts of their body. The basic quality of a butterfly tattoo is that even if you place it at any part of the body it always appears to be delicate and attractive. These tattoos also vary in sizes depending upon the body part you want to get it tattooed, like an ankle butterfly tattoo is smaller while the back butterfly is bigger in size. Most of the professional tattoo Artists have the know-how on this one and you have to ask them the best body part on where to put your very own butterfly tattoo if you are not sure about its placement. Lower back butterfly tattoos are usually larger, more stylised butterfly images that stretch across the lower back, one of the most popular places to get a tattoo nowadays (but also known as a tramp stamp). Actually, butterfly tattoos lend themselves very well to this location. The butterfly image is very symmetrical, so the middle can easily be lined up with the spine, the wings extending on either side. This makes the butterfly wings longer and more stretched out than they would be in nature, but the image can be very attractive.
