Of course, there is no official way of knowing this but if I were a betting man, which in fact I am, I would say that butterfly tattoo designs are the most popular tattoos for women. Other popular tattoo designs for women are flowers, namely the Rose, crosses and angels as well as cherubs which are oftentimes mistakenly identified as angels.
When you think about it it really isn't all that difficult to figure out why women love butterfly tattoos so much. You can incorporate a huge palette of beautiful, rich colors or go with the minimalist design by using black to define the shape. And speaking of shapes, there truly is an endless array of sizes, styles and shapes, limited only by your imagination.
Let's face it, butterflies are cool. They are beautiful to look at and thier silent grace pacifies and captivates all that see them. They are also symbolic in many ways as the otherwise unattractive larvae grows into a beautiful creature. I'm sure that that acts upon people on a deep psychological level and plays a substantial role in the popularity of butterfly tattoo designs.
And of course what woman does not want to be thought of as being beautiful, graceful and free. A butterfly tattoo is also something that will age appropriately on the person that it is inked on. Unlike many of the other tattoo designs that we see, it is pretty much age appropriate for women of all ages.
Butterfly tattoos are highly customizable as far as size, shape and colors are concerned as we pointed out earlier but they are also ideal for just about every woman in that they can be placed just about anywhere on the body and still look great. You certainly can't say that about most other tattoo designs. They look great on the hip, upper back, lower back, arm, stomach, chest or just about any other part of the body you can think of.
Another very clever way to customize butterfly tattoo designs is by incorporating text in the tattoo. Some clever tattoo artists can even create the body of the butterfly by spelling out a name, usually the name of the person that the tattoo is inked on or a loved one such as a child. Names can also be incorporated anywhere within the design. Perhaps in the wing for example.
There really is an endless amount of possibilities that you can come up with. Be clever. Do something completely original and make it your own. It is suggested that you look at as many butterfly tattoo designs as you can possibly find and start jotting down ideas of how you would like yours to look. You will see it forming right before your eyes. Then all you have to do is find a good tattoo artist and make it come to life.
