The details of the wings
This butterfly is built from black outlines, fine internal wing lines and darker accents near the edges. The open areas of skin give the small composition a light appearance. The photograph shows it below the collarbone, framed by a pearl necklace.
An idea to make your own
The image is a reference for discussing linework and placement with Yeonjae in Hongdae, Seoul. If you are considering a butterfly, bring your preferred size, placement and any reference images to the conversation. The meaning of your tattoo is yours to decide; the photograph does not tell us the original client’s personal story.
