Tattoo Description
This realistic butterfly tattoo is a fine example of black & grey realism and precise dot/shade work. Placed on the forearm, the butterfly appears in gentle motion with natural wing folds and soft gradient shading that creates depth and life. Our artists at Black Poison Tattoos used layered black ink shading and micro-line details to achieve the delicate veins and soft highlights – giving the butterfly a three-dimensional, elegant look.
Butterflies are classic symbols of transformation, rebirth, and hope. This tattoo is perfect for someone marking a life change or celebrating personal growth, and its moderate size makes it ideal for visibility while remaining subtle and tasteful.
