When choosing a tattoo consider what it symbolizes, what statement you want to make and what it says about you or who you are. A butterfly tattoo means rebirth or transformation. It can also have spiritual significance as life after death. Some consider it a symbol of divine love or freedom. Flowers also have several profound and multi-layered meanings. Each type of flower possesses its own. For example, the Lotus, like the hibiscus flower, is traditionally accepted as a symbol of estranged love and the empty yearning it entails. The lily has several meanings specific to the type. A calla lily represents maiden modesty or beauty. The water lily symbolizes purity of heart. My favorite, the daisy, generally represents innocence.

Butterflies symbolize change or new life as synonymous with how an ugly cocoon transformed into a winged creature. Because of the amazing characteristics a butterfly posses, it can also represent beauty, freedom and hope.In nature, no two butterflies are alike.Your tattoo should also have a story behind it. It should have a personal meaning for you that you can share with people when they ask about it.
