Fairy Tattoos

Fairy tattoos are popular choices for both men and women. The fairy is a mythical creature that is often associated with delicate, graceful lines but the range of fairy tattoo designs available is widely varied. From

childlike cartoon creatures to sensual, curvaceous creations, fairy tattoos often incorporate elements found in nature such as flowers, water and mushrooms. Butterflies, fireflies, and mystical creatures such as unicorns are often seen in combination with the fairies adding elements of both interest and color. Whether applied in a spectrum of colors or as grayscale works of art, hues can be delicate or bold to reflect one’s own personal style making fairy tattoos an excellent choice for artistic expression.

Character Fairy Tattoos

Some fairy tattoos can be designed to look similar to those featured in classic literature while others are portrayed as childlike figures such as those that appear in cartoons like Tinkerbelle or a Fairy Godmother. Fairy tattoos can also depict emotion through their actions. A frantic fairy fleeing a captor may exude a message of desperation while a fairy delicately perched upon a crescent moon may portray a message of contentment.

Sensual Fairy Tattoos

Other popular expressions of fairy tattoos feature the sexy, sensual, alluring fairy. Unlike their cute, childlike counterparts, these tattoos generally depict fairies with adult bodies and considerable sex appeal.

Meaning of Fairy Tattoos

The word fairy is derived from the Latin word fata, meaning fate. The fairy has been claimed to be a symbol of destiny or circumstance. In classic literature, the fairy was present to protect against evil spirits. When the main

character is in a time of peril, fairies may show themselves to protect someone in danger or to grant a wish. For this reason, fairy tattoos may be chosen as badges of protection or strength.

Fairy tattoos may also be chosen for other reasons. Fairies are frequently thought of as free spirits, so the choice of a fairy tattoo may be an external depiction of the wearer’s free spirit. Good will or luck are other common associations with fairies so, for some, a fairy tattoo design might represent a hope for good fortune.

Imagination and youth are other qualities associated with fairies. In this sense, a fairy tattoo may serve as a remembrance of one’s childhood innocence or their youthful spirit.

Evil Fairy Tattoos

Fairies of legends were not always angelic. Innocent pranks such as leading travelers off their paths were thought to be attributed to fairies; however, some legends link fairies to far more serious activities such as stealing or even killing. Fairy tattoos that express this less-angelic side are also a the part of the wide range of possibilities that make fairy tattoos choices that can be personally meaningful as well as providing an opportunity for artistic expression that’s both colorful and unique.
