Butterfly tattoos are probably one of the most common tattoos that women choose when they decide to get inked. Flowers are probably the second most common tattoo that women have a preference for. It should not really be a surprise that these two designs are so loved by women.
They are both symbols of beauty and femininity; these two designs also complement each other. Unfortunately this means that if you choose a design off the wall of your local tattoo shop there are possibly quite a few other women out there with the same tattoo. If you would like you own unique butterfly flower tattoo then you will need to design your tattoo.
Careful Selection
If you would like have a unique butterfly flower tattoo then you need to choose the design elements carefully. Choose unusual flowers to make your tattoo stand out from all the other butterfly flower tattoos out there. A hibiscus flower tattoo combined with a butterfly is slightly out of the ordinary.
Choose a variety of flowers in different colors that go together to create a dynamic piece. The butterfly you choose for your butterfly flower tattoo is also important. The pattern on the wings is very important when it comes to making your design unique. Look at natural history books for inspiration and other pictures of butterflies.
The flow of your tattoo is also important. You may have a rough idea of what you want your design to look like but the best person to help you in this department is your tattoo artist. A good tattoo artist will know how to place a tattoo so that it really comes alive and looks good on your body.
Listen to the artist and remember that what you had in mind may not always work on your body. You need to take into account that a tattoo is forever and certain placements just don’t work. Most importantly you want to go to an artist who has experience and a portfolio of great work.
If you want a realistic look then find an artist who specializes in this kind of tattooing. If on the other hand you want a more colorful painterly effect then look for an artist who can do this. Keep these things in mind when you are putting together your butterfly flower tattoo and you will have a piece that no one else has. You can be proud that you have a totally original and unique piece of art.
