Check out butterfly tattoo meanings
Transformation
Perhaps the meaning that is most in the popular imagination is that butterflies symbolize transformation. That's because they start their life as eggs. From there, caterpillars come out and, after a long
metamorphosis, become beautiful butterflies, which can fly and live freely.freedom and liberation
Speaking of living freely, this is another butterfly meaning. Because they have beautiful and powerful wings, they can zigzag around without much explanation and without needing to stay anywhere. Therefore, they are always linked to the concept of freedom.
They are also seen as synonymous with liberation. After all, they are attached to a terrestrial body for a long time, without little mobility. And, after a long process, they gain wings that free them from the ground.
femininity
A butterfly tattoo can also mean femininity, especially if it is done with fine and delicate lines. In many cultures, this insect is associated with beauty, with its vibrant colors. And, you can see: your garden is always much more beautiful when a butterfly is in it.
Luck
Some cultures believe that butterflies are symbols of luck and prosperity. For them, if one of them enters your house or, if you have a very positive aura, lands on you, it is a sign that a lot of money and a lot of good will cross your path.
Spirituality
Butterflies are also often classified as spiritual messengers. When one crosses your path, it means that your spirit guides, angels or protectors are close to you. Many people get a tattoo with this animal to remind themselves of this, or so that these cosmic beings are always by their side.
