Tattoo Vibe
Butterfly tattoos have become a firm fixture in the tattoo studio, with more and more women and men opting for sweet winged creatures and delicate designs – and there’s little wonder why. Before you go to the nearest tattoo artist, we suggest you consider getting a butterfly hand tattoo. Why?
Where do we even start? Butterfly tattoos are strong symbols of transformation, positive change, and freedom. Whether you’re going through a tough time, focusing on becoming the best version of yourself, or letting go of everything that’s weighing you down, you might want to get a butterfly tattoo.
A butterfly hand tattoo, on the other hand, might be the right placement for you, too. While the ever-so-popular back and shoulder tattoos offer you more real estate to work with, you’re going to adore the chic placement and the simplicity that comes with a hand tattoo – worry not, they’re equally captivating.
Considering that your hands are rarely covered (depending on the time of year and your profession), they’re always visible to you and the rest of the world. When you’re on the lookout for a simple or super detailed, bold and brightly colored, or delicate and monochromatic butterfly hand tattoo, check us out.
