It is now known that approximately 18,000 different butterfly species exist or are known around the world. of all the colors - some only measure 1cm and others can measure up to 25cm, which leaves many possibilities to choose a design when tattooing a butterfly

Butterflies are one of the most amazing creatures in nature, they are also considered a spiritual symbol thanks to the quality of metamorphosis, this ability is what allows them to transform from a caterpillar to a butterfly- this quality has been interpreted in many different ways throughout history and also of different cultures in humanity

Due to this motive the cultural meaning of a butterfly changes a lot, depending on the geographical region, culture and also depending on the personal significance given by each individual

It is for that reason that there are countless meanings associated with butterflies throughout the world

It is not so difficult to find meanings or associations of butterflies throughout the world, the problem about butterflies and their meaning in human culture is that there are a number of meanings that are very similar, others that are complementary and some that even completely contradict

The universal meaning of butterflies, regardless of the culture or geographical area the butterfly is a universal symbol of transformation and also of positive evolution in life

There are many people who with this symbol seek to reflect a change in their way of life or in their way of integrating themselves into this world

In its spiritual meaning, butterflies have been considered by different cultures as beings that can fly between the world of the living and the world of the dead, this due to its lightness and the peculiarity of its way of flying- some cultures consider that they are capable of transporting the souls of the dead between both worlds

In fact in Ireland around the 17th century It was believed that white butterflies carried the souls of children who had lost their lives - and the souls of innocent children

At that time in Ireland around the seventeenth century it was highly prohibited to hunt or kill white butterflies

In Japan it is also believed that a person alive while sleeping or unconscious has the ability to project his soul to a butterfly and thus fly, in the same way that a butterfly would do throughout the world

In the Mayan and Aztec cultures the butterflies were responsible or responsible for accompanying and transporting the souls of the warriors who were sacrificed and the warriors who had fallen in battles to the other world

The ancient Aztecs used to put butterflies on the corpses of warriors who had died on the battlefield, with the idea that they serve as companions and that it will help them to transport their soul to the beyond

In the same way, butterflies were placed on women who had lost their lives during childbirth, this was the same in the Mayan and Aztec cultures

Currently the symbol of the butterflies speaking of 2015 to the present day, basically are used by women seeking to reflect through these the beauty, the femininity, the sensuality, the delicacy, this type of qualities that women have, and that are also reflected in a butterfly

They are also considered as a symbol of feminine freedom, transformation and spiritual search with the cultural load of femininity that lies in the butterflies

But the symbol of the butterflies has a deeper meaning- as in the Japanese culture that there the butterfly represents the conjugal happiness and also the good situation of our marriage

The butterfly really is a very good decision for a first tattoo because of all the positive meanings that are known throughout history- I hope you liked this blog a greeting
