Celtic Butterfly Tattoos

Celtic Butterfly Tattoos

Celtic butterfly tattoos are a popular design choice these days. This may be linked to the symbolism that surrounds Celtic and butterfly designs:

1. Celtic cultures consider butterflies to represent rebirth and growth. Since butterfly larvae transform within the cocoon and emerge as a beautiful creature people who have gone through tough times and emerged better and stronger may choose these tattoo designs.
2. Butterflies represent the soul.
3. In Chinese culture, two butterflies flying together represent undying love.
4. They can also represent luck and upcoming fortune.
   

Because most celtic butterfly designs are small they are good candidates for tattoos on the upper arm, ankle, or shoulder. However Celtic butterfly images can also be used in lower back tattoos if they are combined with Celtic designs outside the wings.
