Purple Butterfly Tattoo

1. Standard Purple Butterfly Tattoo

Your standard Purple Butterfly Tattoo is just your normal two-dimensional Butterfly Tattoo in a purple color.

This design is quite simplistic, but it comes packed with all the symbolism associated with the Purple Butterfly.

This Tattoo Design is a gorgeously detailed wing pattern and beautifully faded purples as you out toward the wing-tips. 

2. Realistic Purple Butterfly Tattoo

If you want to have a Purple Butterfly Tattoo that looks like it might just jump straight off of your body, then try going for a Realistic Purple Butterfly Tattoo.

While there may not be any real butterflies that match this design, you can of course, opt to get one just like this.

This Tattoo Design is incredible, and the shading beneath the design makes it look like it really is about to take flight of this person's body. 

3. Purple Butterfly Garter Belt Tattoo

For something a little more sexy, try out a Pink Butterfly Garter Belt Tattoo.

This gorgeous Tattoo Design looks incredible, with realistic shimmering coming from the gems and chain and I love the illusion effect that makes it look like the wings are in motion.

4. BTS Purple Butterfly Tattoo

If you are a lover of South Korean boyband BTS, then check out this BTS Purple Butterfly Tattoo.

BTS was originally a hip-hop group until they expanded their style to incorporate a wide range of genres.

This BTS tattoo has lyrics from the song ‘Zero O’Clock and a Whale to represent Whalien 52, a song inspired by the loneliest Whale in the world who was the last of its kind that vocalized at 52-Hertz, a frequency which no other whale can hear. 

5. Two Purple Butterflies Tattoo

You don’t have to settle for just one Purple Butterfly. Having two Purple Butterflies can symbolize a balanced or harmonious transformation in life or relationships.

This Purple Butterfly Tattoo is really pretty, with one Butterfly up close and the other in the background and both having lovely purple lower wings with more subtle purple hues on the top wings.

This Tattoo was also used to cover up a mole, so if you’re sensitive about your own moles or any other insecurity, consider this design as an option to give you peace of mind. 

6. Pink-Purple Butterfly Tattoo

You don’t have to settle for a straight Purple Butterfly Tattoo. Why not go for a mix of colors like this Purple and Pink Butterfly Tattoo? 

This Pink-Purple Butterfly Tattoo is gorgeous with its bright sparkle effects and ethereal look. The mix of the pink and purple on the left wing is masterfully done and gives this Tattoo Design a space-like feel. 

7. Elegant Purple Butterfly Tattoo

This Purple Butterfly Tattoo might look somewhat similar to the standard and realistic design, but I included it purely for the incredible detail done on the upper and middle wings.

The transparency on the top wing to the middle wing is phenomenal, and I love the subtle purple hues used on these four wings, getting progressively lighter the more you go up. 

8. Purple Butterfly With Florals Tattoo

Flowers have a whole range of symbolic meanings, so if you want to imbue your Purple Butterfly Tattoo with some florals, you shouldn’t have too much trouble trying to find a flower with a symbolic meaning that speaks to you the most.

This lovely Tattoo Design has one side of the Butterfly with a variety of flowers that can give it a multitude of symbolic meanings.

Some Butterflies are known for their annual migrations to avoid bad weather conditions and overpopulation.

13. Suminagashi Purple Butterfly Tattoo

Another unique Purple Butterfly Tattoo is this Suminagashi Butterfly Tattoo Design.

Fans of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba will love this Anime Tattoo Design.

Shinobu uses Insect Breathing, and powerful poison that is lethal to demons as opposed to other Hashiras who use their powerful strength alone. 

16. Footprint And Purple Butterfly Tattoo

If you want to remember the times when your child was still oh-so-tiny, consider getting a Purple Butterfly and Foot Tattoo.

To get your child's Foot Tattoo, first, you will need to get an imprint of it by putting some non-toxic ink over your child's foot and gently pressing it onto a piece of paper.

You can send a digital copy to your artist, and they will be able to scale it according to your desires.

18. Semicolon Purple Butterfly Tatto

I love the Tattooing artfrom for how creative so many of the artists and clients can be with their designs.

While some can be incredibly inventive ideas of grand ideas, I also adore these small designs of taking something simple and adjusting it to be more beautiful.

This Semicolon Butterfly Tattoo reminds me of my days in school; being so bored, I would try to let my imagination flow and transform boring symbols like a square root sign into a hat or a figure eight into a pair of eyes for whatever characters I wanted to draw. 

19. Purple Butterfly Wings Tattoo

If you don’t want to go for a full Butterfly Tattoo design, then consider just getting a Butterfly Wings Tattoo.

Butterfly Wings look extremely feminine and gracious, so they’re a great Tattoo Design for someone who considers themselves a real girly-girl, and you can also get your Butterfly Wings Tattooed on your back to make you look like a real life fairy.  

20. Lion And Purple Butterfly Tattoo

If you want to add a little more pride to your Purple Butterfly Tattoo, partner it up with a Lion.

Lion Tattoos, like the color purple, symbolize royalty but also carry themes of power, strength, and leadership, to name a few.

This Purple Butterfly with a sketched Lion Tattoo is incredible and gives off a true royal presence. 

21. Thread Purple Butterfly Tattoo

Another Unique Tattoo Design for your Purple Butterfly Tattoo is to have it in a thread design.

This gorgeous Pink Butterfly Tattoo looks like it is being made up of silk threads, which caterpillars can make silk from their salivary glands.

The design is so cool, with two silk balls above the Butterfly and one below. 

22. Purple Butterfly Illustration Tattoo

Illustrative tattoos take their form from realism and traditionalism and utilizing various techniques such as linework, dotwork, blackwork, and more.

23. Purple Butterfly Patch Tattoo

Patch Tattoos are the latest trend in the Tattooing World, where you get a Tattoo Design that looks like it has actually been sewn directly into your skin.

This purple Butterfly Patch Tattoo is super cool, being one-half purple and one-half pink and the fold on the side makes it look even more realistic.

24. Skull Wing Pattern Purple Butterfly Tattoo

Another cool idea for your Purple Butterfly Tattoo is to add elements into its wing patterns.

Skull Tattoos have many symbolism, from death and the afterlife to reincarnation and change.

The Great Purple Emporer is native to Japan, the Korean Peninsula, China, northern Taiwan, and northern Vietnam.

This cool Tattoo Design has the wings of the Butterfly replacing half of the pelvic bone as well as some of the lower rib. 

31. Jeweled Purple Butterfly Tattoo

Another nice design for your Purple Butterfly Tattoo is to imbue it with some Purple Gems.

This Gorgeous Tattoo Design has two gems possibly amethyst quartz imbued into its lower wings.

As amethyst is a durable gemstone it could symbolize strength as Butterflies are often viewed as being fragile. 

32. Purple Butterfly And Cherry Blossoms Tattoo

Cherry Blossoms come with a lot of symbolism, including life, death, and renewal.

However, cherry blossoms also come with the symbolism of life’s fleeting beauty as they only appear during certain times of the year.

This means that it can have synergetic symbolism with your Butterfly as Butterfly Tattoos also come with the ‘life’s feeting beauty’ symbolism as well.

Another unique destiny for your Purple Butterfly Tattoo is to have it imbued into an arrow.

An Arrow Tattoo can symbolize moving forward and personal growth.

Butterfree is the final evolution of the first Pokemon Ash Ketchum ever caught, Caterpie.

Butterfree had a positive and brave personality but was always shy and suffered from low self-esteem when he was upset by Misty and the Pink Butterfree not liking him.

This Video Game Tattoo is super cool, with Butterfree done in a pixel style, paying homage to his gaming routes. 

35. Venomoth Purple Moth Tattoo

Venomoth is the Moth equivalent of Butterfree.

There are rumors that Venomoth's first form, Venonat, was initially intended to be Butterfree’s first form due to their similar color and appearance.

This Pokemon Tattoo is really well done, with Venomoth having its nice, vibrant purple colors while holding a poisonous green mushroom.
