Want to mix it up a little?

One way of creating a more decorative design is to add flowers, roses, ribbons, stars or even a fairy or two. 

Butterflys are a great image to add to a design that has deeper meaning, though for many the butterfly signifies freedom.

Your tattoo artist will also have plenty of ideas of how to embellish a simple image in the style that you'd like.  (Image courtesy of Check Out My Ink where you can find more ideas & inspiration)

Thinking of getting a Lower Back Butterfly Tattoo ?

Whether you like the idea of Cheryl Cole having a butterfly tatoo design on her lower back, large butterflies can make an amazingly colorful image that covers the full expanse of the body.

It'll take a bit of planning, this is a large tatoo and there's gonna be no option for cover ups later on , so have it drawn out as the best flash you can, before you go ahead!

What Now?

First, find some pics of designs that you like, whether it's a simple line drawing in black or a complex tribal, gothic or celtic flash with colored wings.

Then choose some colors that you think are pretty or will work for you.
