Butterfly Tattoo – Big or Small?

Many girls looking to get a butterfly tattoo eventually have to decide on size. This can be the hardest decision when getting a butterfly tattoo.

Size can make all the difference. You can have the best butterfly tattoo there is, but if it’s not the proper size then it can look not as good as it should.

Let’s look at the big vs. small option you have with butterfly designs:

BIG BUTTERFLY DESIGN. Honestly, a big butterfly can look pretty ridiculous. Butterflies are usually small, delicate, and beautiful creatures and trying to blow them up into mega insects doesn’t always work. However, there are some designs out there that can work well blown up big and beautiful, but in general you probably want to lean on the side of smaller is better for this design.

Now, having said that:

SMALL BUTTERFLY DESIGN. There are some TINY butterfly tattoos out there that look more like mosquito’s than beautiful butterflies. Going TOO SMALL is definitely not doing the butterfly justice. This is a great tattoo to get and you should take advantage of the beautiful, colorful and intricate quality this design possesses. Going too small won’t cut it.

Recommending a “medium size” can be too vague as some peoples mediums are other peoples extra larges. And body size and tattoo placement can distort what medium means from person to person.

Conclusion: Lean towards a smaller sized butterfly as opposed to something big, but don’t make it tiny! Play around with different small sizes and you should see the correct size “pop out” at you when the proportion is correct, and the detail is present.
