What draws women to butterflies?  Why is that butterfly tattoos are primarily seen on women and not on men?  Where are all the tattoos of the hundreds, and possibly thousands, of caterpillars before they turn into those glorious butterflies? For years women have used the butterfly as their tattoo of choice on every part of their body from the tips of their toes to, well maybe not to their nose but still, the butterfly can be seen on just about any part of a woman’s body.  Ask one of them what their butterfly symbolizes and who knows what they will say.  Perhaps it has something to do with the way a silly looking caterpillar can wrap itself in a cocoon for a few days or weeks and then climb out as a beautiful flying butterfly.  It could have to do with the many stories of butterflies, ranging from the mysterious deep meaning tales of butterflies changing the world or the thoughts of a bitter old man to the children’s stories of butterflies befriending birds and frogs and other woods animals. Whatever the case or reason behind them, it would be hard to find an ‘evil’ butterfly so we could assume that anyone with a butterfly tattoo has gotten it for a happy reason rather than a rebellious or devilish purpose.
