What exactly do butterfly tattoos on females symbolize and what would be the masculine/male version tattoo?
I noticed a lot of females with butterfly tatoos. Why are those so popular with young ladies and what would be equivalent on the male side?Like what tattoos do young males have thats almost like females and their butterfly tattoos?

I don't know maybe a dragon? When I was younger I really liked butterflies because to me they represent beauty and transformation (from a caterpillar to a butterfly). In various cultures the symbol of a butterfly is actually not pleasant. In Japan, a butterfly represents a Geisha. Also the song Mariposa Traicionera by Mana gives a really bad meaning to females as butterflies.
ReplyDeleteYou'd have to ask that person. Many times they mean absolutely nothing but 'butterflies are pretty'.
ReplyDeleteSometimes they might mean more.
There's no giant male to female tattoo translation book. I guess you could say a spider kind of matches - another bug, but more 'macho'.
I have a butterfly tattoo, and the reason for getting it is simply that I liked it.
ReplyDeleteIt's an interesting question, but the truth is... it's a popular design that women like, more than anything else. Kinda like faries or dolphins. They're just pretty, and women go for that kinda stuff. It's kinda like guys having skulls and dragons. Those are popular masculine tattoos worn almost exclusivly by men. The television shows/soap operas would have you belive otherwise, but most people just get what they like. That's the real truth of it, in most cases. But because of TV shows, everyone is looking for 'hidden meaning'. Go figure.
