butterfly tatto






butterfly tatto

There are designs ranging from very large to very petite, and when it comes to butterflies, one size certainly does not fit all. The best way to choose a design you know you will like is to browse the many galleries of butterfly tattoos available on the internet and choose the one that you know you will like. Throughout Ireland they represent dead souls waiting to enter purgatory in the Catholic religious belief system. Within Celtic myth they represent life after death.

Celtic butterflies have a bit of a different meaning within Celtic traditions. Celtic designs are based on "knot work", as a representation of the neverneding circle of life, which compliments the symbolic transformation meaning behind the butterfly design. The celtic butterfly, used on a small scale, is often integrated into a much larger tattoo artist's design. While women choose them more than any other butterfly design, they are so versatile and unique that men sometimes choose them as well. Celtic butterfly tattoos are very attractive and distict.

Another common pattern is the Celtic butterfly tattoo. Chosen designs range from full open wingspan in full flight, or with slightly tucked wings as though the butterfly is emerging from its coccoon.
