Butterflies – symbols of transformation, grace, and beauty

A small butterfly tattoo embodies all that with a touch of whimsy. But where do you put it? What design suits your style? Let's flutter into some ideas.

Placement options

• A tiny butterfly on the wrist is classic.

• Consider a single line drawing for minimalist appeal or a watercolor wash for softness.

• An ankle butterfly feels free-spirited – perhaps peeking out from sandals!

• Behind the ear, it’s an intimate secret; a delicate sketch style works wonders here.

Design considerations

Beyond placement, think about your aesthetic. Do you want realism? A bold, illustrative design? Or something completely abstract? Symbolically, butterflies represent change and hope. Let your tattoo tell *your* story.
