Variants of the fairy tattoos

Sometimes the fairy tattoos are combined with religious symbols such as crosses and stars, as well as with elements of nature. For example flowers and mushrooms. In fact, the most important spiritual connection we have with these mythical creatures is nature. It's also a way of changing the meaning of this tattoo. The most popular designs with fairies include the following patterns:

• Butterfly fairy

The tattoos of butterflies symbolize nature and innocence. When paired with fairies, they represent beauty, grace and freedom. The design of a butterfly fairy represents rebirth and transformation, because the butterfly undergoes a metamorphosis in its life.

• Gothic fairy

The designs of fairies combine innocence and youth with a dark touch. For example, they include skulls or dark fairies with expressions of fear and torture. The Gothic fairies symbolize the loss of innocence. When a fairy takes a challenging pose in design, she represents strength and power over resistance.

• Nefarious fairy

In some cultures, the nefarious fairies are like little devils who create havoc by stealing babies or destroying crops. Sometimes they include some representations of innocence, such as Adam's apple. They also bring to mind folkloric legends such as the serpent in the biblical story of Garden of Eden, the story of Loki and many others.

• Tribal fairy

The combination of a fairy with a tribal tattoo represents the fusion of mythological folklore from different cultures at first sight. Today the real meaning of every symbol has been lost. Today they represent femininity and the connection with nature, ancestors and a special culture. Plus, they're usually black and white.

• Weeping fairy

The tattoos of sad fairies represent the loss of innocence. A crying fairy sitting on a flower or mushroom represents the sadness of losing a connection with nature or damaging the relationship with a loved one. Wearing a tattoo of a crying fairy symbolizes emotional loss and pain. This is because a fairy, who is usually a strong feminine figure, is hurt and weakened.

• Celtic fairy

The tattoos of fairies with Celtic influences are deeply associated with spirituality and pagans.

A fairy sitting on a mushroom or flower represents the connection with nature. A fairy on a cloud is a symbol of freedom and the desire to escape.

• Fairies and flowers

The flowers are natural symbols of femininity. Generally speaking, the fairies appear sitting or playing with flowers as a symbol of youth, frivolity and connection with nature.

A dragon is a symbol of the primitive power of nature. They live in deep caves (earth), they fly (air), they spit fire (fire) and in Japanese culture they are also associated with water. The dragons and the fairies represent different manifestations of nature. The dragons tend to be masculine and powerful, while the fairies tend to be lank, feminine and strong. In this sense, the tattoos of a dragon and a fairy symbolize the feminine and masculine elements of nature. These contradict and balance each other perfectly.
