to be associated with the concept of transformation, metamorphosis, change and
rebirth. Butterflies come to the world as colorless caterpillars and gradually
they change themselves into one of the most beautiful and colorful things.

apart, some other religions also believed that the souls’ travel to the other
world is accomplished by these small heavenly creatures. It is a symbol of
vibrancy, short-lived beauty, change, love and playfulness.

language or may be every language.
Ribbon
Tattoo Designs:

importance can be associated with the place of tattoo if you opt to get a
ribbon drawn on you. Ribbons being small and subtle allow the artist to use his
creativity in a very small space to add vividness and beauty to the figure. A

Flowers are
one of the most beautiful creations of God. Different flowers have different
meanings and therefore they outline different traits of a personality. While a
red rose is clearly a symbol of love, passion and immense beauty, a lotus stands for purity and an orchid may
signify luxury and sophistication added to beauty. A flower symbol can be
enhanced by different shades and gives the artist a chance to use different
colors.
Feather

A feather
tattoo is unique for its sheer beauty and tenderness. A feather being light
symbolizes flight, freedom and a care-free attitude. It also has an aesthetic
beauty implicit in it. It’s convenient to wear this symbol on anywhere on the
body like forearm, hand, and nape or behind the ears.

said “A thing of beauty is a joy forever”, so spread positive and joy by
wearing a colorful and vibrant tattoo. Do not always try to read a meaning into
every symbol but whatever may be the story behind a symbol, it should always be
an inspiring piece of art that one may like to see again and again.
