90 butterfly tattoos (and what they mean)

They are very similar to butterflies, but smaller in size. Moths have become one of the most common designs in the tattoo industry. Their resemblance to butterflies is not only aesthetic; they have something in common at the symbolic level: both elevate the mind and soul of man.

Symbolism begs

Although they are quite dark, their deepest meaning will always be innocence, love and happiness. They are also called "moths" because they only come out at night and are guided by the light of the moon.

It is also interesting that moth tattoos are more common in men than women, who often prefer butterfly tattoos to them. In any case, as with any tattoo, its symbolism will depend on the person wearing it. And while there are people who claim that moths represent bad luck, they are wrong. Most of the symbolic meanings of this insect contradict this belief, and some even consider them to be a symbol of prosperity.

Because a person who wears a moth tattoo on their skin can show their big edge, which they don't necessarily know about: this is that he is a good person who has the best energy. Who exists and who has a brighter aura than others; that he is a free soul, able to sense where he will be best, and, ultimately, that he is someone who can surely be completely trusted.

Moths are the best possible embodiment of the fact that you should not be fooled by your looks. At first glance, you only see the dark side, and they may even scare you, but when you get to know the person behind this creature better, big surprises can await you.

Personal growth

There is another meaning of butterflies: they are associated with everything that is metamorphosis. Perhaps this is one of their greatest values, because each person, over the years, overcomes countless obstacles that cause him to change and develop as people.

Moth Tattoos

For tattoos of this mysterious insect, we usually choose images with simple black lines, which are usually presented quite soberly. Often on the upper body of the butterfly there are images of a skull, which many interpret as a tribute to death.
