Both women and butterflies have wonderful, curvy forms. They both have delicate, soft texture and are very pleasing to the eye. The fact that the butterfly tattoo can be any size is also important. You can have a small tattoo on the ankle or hip bone. You can place a larger butterfly on the shoulder or above the breast. Or... you can choose to ink a very large butterfly tattoo in the middle of your lower back. Just about any place on the body will work for such a beautiful tattoo.
One of the main reasons that butterflies make sexy tattoos for women are the choice of colors. You can pretty much ink a butterfly in ANY color. Choose colors to match your eyes, or hair. Some of these colors are almost iridescent. Also, look at the designs on some butterflies. Many look as if the wings are a large face with eyes. This choice of color and design is what lends the butterfly tattoo to so many different types of women.
Don't forget to think about the pose of the butterfly. It can be flying, perched on a branch, both wings up and together (when they are at rest), or grouped together in a field of flowers.
Before inking a tattoo of a butterfly on your body, spend some time looking at butterfly websites for the the perfect style you like. Choose the color, shape, design, size, pose, placement etc. All of these aspects come into play when creating a sexy tattoo. There are so many to choose from - you want to make the right decision. When you have chosen exactly what you want then you are ready to have the butterfly tattoo design inked on your body.
