Butterflies are popular design choices for a tattoo on the lower back. They are symmetrical and curved, and will therefore mirror the curves of your hips. They will emphasize and accentuate your femininity.
There’s a whole host of different species of butterfly out there. However, many women prefer to have a black butterly tattoo inked onto their skin. Why? For many, a black tattoo allows the design itself to do all the talking (colored tattoos are sometimes seen as distractions from the design itself). Black designs are also less prone to fade and are less easy to date. They appear elegant and timeless.
When choosing a butterfly tattoo, it is vital to do some research. Check online to see images of different butterflies. In addition, you may want to consider becoming a member of an on-line tattoo service.
These will save you hours and hours of trawling through many thousands of images, as they have HUGE databases of designs available for your use. In particular, this site not only provides a huge collection of designs, but also offers a members’ forum where you can discusss your ideas and designs with other likeminded people who’ll be happy to help.
This is an excellent feature as it can be difficult finding other people to discuss your design with (after all, a tattoo artist in a tattoo salon is mainly there to tattoo!). This service therefore is a goldmine for your to exploit!
