Sexy with Butterfly Tattoo Designs For All Ages

By Kaila West


Tattoos are one of the more unique forms of body art or decoration. Although most people have historically associated tattoos and tattooing with men, there are a growing number of women that also enjoy being inked. A butterfly tattoo in one of many different traditional or ultra stylized motifs is a natural favorite for many women. Butterflies can be very whimsical, ethnic or even highly abstract. There are a great many designs to choose from within every category.
A butterfly tattoo can symbolize a wide range of themes or make a very personalized statement. Traditionally they have symbolized beauty in nature, but also transformation and change. This is because of the different forms that a butterfly takes in its life, eventually emerging as one of the most colorful and beautiful creations. Getting inked with this design can also be the symbol of a free spirit, willing to try new things and explore the world around them. Others symbolize new beginnings and a harmony with nature, or just an appreciation for the designs, shapes and colors of these summer favorites.
Making the decision to get a tattoo is a personal choice, both in the type of tattoo as well as the color choice. Since butterflies are very colorful in nature, many of the profile or full butterfly tattoos are highly inked in bright colors such as reds, greens, deep blues, yellows, oranges and purples. The beauty of a tattoo type that has this affinity for color means that it can be customized to your specific color requirements and preferences. Black ink is typically used in the outline and the detail lines, providing both depth and clarity to the design.
However, not all butterfly tattoos are going to be in full color. There are many silhouette or even Celtic and tribal designs that may include additional ink colors or can look very striking in black alone. The more ornate and detailed the tattoo is in outline and detail lines the more effective and outstanding it looks as a black only ink colored tattoo. Designing your own custom butterfly tattoo, either to work into existing tattoos or to simply meet your own preferences, is another option. Working with a tattoo designer or artist can help you achieve just the tattoo you have always wanted.
When selecting what butterfly tattoo you want you do have to have a body part to tattoo in mind. This is because some tattoos are designed to conform to a specific body part; however they can always be modified. Popular places for small women's butterfly tattoos include on the shoulder, the ankle or on the stomach/hip. For larger or more stylized tattoos the lower back, the upper chest and even as an ankle bracelet style, butterfly motifs are a great match. Butterflies can also be chained with flowers, hearts or literally any other image on bracelet or anklet tattoos. They make for a more feminine addition to an armband tattoo as well.
Choosing the location of your tattoo is something that needs some serious consideration. Remember that a tattoo is forever, although there are now some options to have them removed that can be very effective but costly. If you just keep in mind how often you want the tattoo to be visible and how it will work into other tattoos you may be considering you should be on the right track. When your tattoo artist is placing the stencil on your skin, you can always change your mind and have it moved. Work with the artist to make sure the spot and the style is just what you want before he or she starts outlining your next butterfly tattoo.

Tattoos Sexy - Sexy Tattoo Placement

You have decided that you want a tattoo, and are ready to pick out a design. Before you do this though, you need to figure out where you are putting your tattoo, as it will affect the size and context of your design. Most women like to place their tattoos somewhere sexy so they can attract attention from the opposite sex. And why not, that’s pretty much what tattoos are for right?


Here are some of the sexiest places to put a tattoo:


1.Lower back: with low-rise jeans still in style, this is the perfect place for a tattoo. Most designs in this area use somewhat of a triangular shape with the point facing down, so the eye is drawn to your lower half. This is also a great surface to put a large, sprawling tattoo, and is easy to cover up if you are going to work.


2.Upper breast: since most guys are looking there anyways, why not give them something to look at? Tattoos in this area are generally smaller, with symbols such as flowers, bees, dragonflies and butterflies being very popular.


3.Ankle: if you have great legs then an ankle tattoo is perfect, it will draw the eye to that narrow part of you and then go on from there. Again you will probably want to stick to a smaller tattoo in this area.


4.Wrist: slender, soft, and usually lightly scented, the wrist is an overlooked sexy place on our bodies. Place a small tattoo on the inside of your wrist and notice the attention you get!


5.Shoulder: show off your inner Playboy Bunny with a sexy tattoo on the back of your shoulder, and then go buy some strappy tank tops. You have a great surface where you can place a nice-sized tattoo and get noticed.


6.Back of Neck: As long as you stick with something small, this is a great location for an Asian symbol or something unique. Of course the neck is supremely sexy, and having a cute or interesting tattoo there is a great conversation starter.


There are other, more risqué place where you can put a tattoo, it just depends on who you want to see it. Here are a few suggestions:


1.Above pubic area: perfect for a small, sexy tattoo that your special someone can see.


2.Hip: low rise jeans or a bathing suit can let you show off your little friend.


3.Underneath a bra strap: there’s nothing like finding a cute tattoo on your girlfriend while she’s stripping down.


4.Inner thigh: this is definitely a members-only area, so get a symbol that he’ll really like.


5.Around belly button: there are some great tattoo patterns for this area, and it is a perfect spot if you are sporting a flat belly.


6.Tailbone: again, this spot is reserved for your special someone, so choose carefully.


A tattoo is forever, so you will want to spend a lot of time choosing your spot and your design, and then talk to a qualified tattoo artist to see if they have any suggestions or pointers.

Design Your Own Tattoo with Nice Tattoos Design

By Ryan Dodson


Getting yourself a tattoo is a creative way to reflect your individuality. Oftentimes, you probably notice a lot of people who all have the same tattoos that are either a common design or the exact design! This is so much a shame as tattoos are intended to reflect creativity and uniqueness.


Those who do not wish to be identical to everybody else when it relates to tattoo designs can create their own! If you think it may be difficult because you're not all that artistic, think again. With just a bit of communication, you will be able to convey your imagination about your tattoo to an experienced artist.


While this process might appear to be somewhat complex, it is genuinely not. Even if you don't have creative skills, a rough outline might be everything you need. You can find a gifted tattoo artist who will make your sketch into a flawless work of ink art. A lot of times tattoo artists get tired with drawing the same tattoos over and over again, thus by showing him or her your vision, you will assist with simulating their artistic talents.


If you can take some moments to sketch out the tattoo before you go into the tattoo shop, and you have an estimate about what it is that you want to have, it should be effortless on the creative artist to visualize your idea distinctly in their mind. If you are not artistic, cutting pictures out from magazines and matching them all up uniquely is a great way to get your thoughts across to a tattoo artist. If you are able, chalk out the ideas you acquire from looking through the pictures.


One really crucial thing to do is to make sure you and the artist are both on the very same page together before getting your tattoo. By making positive your tattoo artist recognizes what you want, you will be increasing your chances of being happy and overall satisfied with the finished work of art.
