A small butterfly tattoo can represent many things. These wonderful, colourful creatures are a symbol of freedom, beauty and love. They depict nature at its finest, often inspiring artist and writers alike with their marvellous blend of colours and textures. Due to the numerous changes they undergo in their short life-span, Christianity sees them as a symbol of Christ’s Resurrection.

A beautifully designed butterfly can also represent a love which conquers all. In Greek, a butterfly is called ‘Psyche’, which is the name of a mythical princess, as beautiful as Venus, who eventually becomes the Goddess of the Soul. She undergoes many trials and tribulations, wandering the Earth to unite with her one, true love – Eros, the God of Love. It is a symbol of one of the best and most magnificent of all romances, inspiring even the melancholic poet, Keats, to create a beautiful and melodious ode, immortalising the new Goddess.
