# Butterfly tattoo ideas

The mark of change, from delicate fine-line to bold neo-traditional.

Butterfly tattoos symbolize transformation, rebirth, and freedom, which makes them a favorite for milestone and memorial pieces. Symmetric enough to sit almost anywhere, they range from airy single-needle wings to bold blackwork and vivid color that ages well.

TattMe has 381 butterfly tattoos from verified artists. Every piece links to the artist who created it.
