Butterfly tattoo designs with meanings
Butterfly tattoos are placed in various locations on the body, the most popular of the upper arm, back, foot, shoulder, and lower back, and come in a variety of colors including pink, blue, and black. In Asian culture, when a black butterfly is unfortunately seen, it means the impending or recent death of a loved one.
The butterfly is a true miracle of nature. It leads a short but astonishingly eventful life and undergoes a drastic transformation in a relatively limited space of time. As a result, butterflies are often associated with rebirth and resurrection. In Christianity, the butterfly represents Christ's resurrection and his ascension to heaven. Butterflies are also symbols of love and spirituality. The Greek word for butterfly is psyche, after the goddess Psyche, the goddess of the soul. Psyche is often depicted with the wings of a butterfly and according to Greek mythology, she fell madly in love with Eros and marries the Greek god of love, desire and affection. You may know Eros better by its Roman name, Cupid.
