Inside: Beautiful Half Butterfly Flower Tattoo Ideas.

From children’s drawings to gorgeous tattoos, butterflies have long been a source of inspiration for artists of all backgrounds. With their dazzlingly bright colors and intricately carved wings, butterflies are one of the purest, most beautiful aspects of nature. Flitting from place to place, this ethereal insect has inspired poetry and paintings from all over the world.

Nothing quite captures a beautiful summer’s day, the delicacy of new love, or the metamorphosis of life like the butterfly. Butterfly tattoos are as varied and multi-layered as the symbolism associated with this delicate bug.

For many years, butterfly tattoos have been part of the tattoo culture itself.

The ultimate symbol of womanhood, butterflies are one of the most common tattoos for women to choose. Beautiful, pure, and ultimately fragile, butterflies represent strength. Everyone knows that butterflies begin as caterpillars, fighting to become the lovely butterfly. Oftentimes we have to go through immense growth and change to achieve true peace and beauty in this life.

The butterfly is the perfect representation for this metamorphosis as they themselves have to endure extreme metamorphosis.

A few other butterfly tattoo ideas:

Half Butterfly Half Flower Tattoo

What’s more feminine than a butterfly and flower tattoo combined? One wing butterfly, one wing blossom. Butterflies are an integral part of a flower’s life cycle, and visa versa. You cannot have one without the other.

There’s a bit of yin and yang balance to a butterfly flower tattoo. Just as there’s a balance in our own lives every day. The good and the bad, the exciting and the scary.

The duality of a butterfly and flower tattoo represents the very duality of life itself.

Here are a few floral tattoo ideas to inspire the ink design:

  • Peony tattoos are a great large bloom to fill a full butterfly wing with.
  • Another great bloom to consider is a ranunculus tattoo for its detailed petal design.
  • Connect your design inspiration to your birth month with a full year of birth flower tattoos.
  • The newest way I’ve seen this half and half version done is with small sunflower tattoos as one side.
  • Or go a more black line way with the black eyed susan tattoo as the matching opposite.
  • Or pick an entire bouquet like many of the options we have shown here and use various tiny flower tattoos to create a look that is pure art.

These favorite butterfly-flower tattoo ideas will give your imagination wings with their gorgeous designs.
