from: Choosing The Right Fairy Tattoos
Fairy tattoos are often sported by women that consider themselves to be innocent and young at heart. For many people, fairies represent the magical and wondrous properties of the natural world personified into a small, beautiful creature. Fairies represent absolute good and in most literature, represent a triumph of good over evil. Very rarely are fairies depicted as evil or malicious. Fairies are found in the mythology of many cultures of the world and are the representatives of the beauty and innocence found in the world around us.
Fairy tattoos are far more common on women than men, for obvious reasons, and because of their generally small size, they are normally located on the shoulder, back, ankle, or calf of the women that sport them. Fairies are colorful and whimsical creatures with an infinite amount of design variations, making them easily customizable for different personalities. Because fairy tattoos are small, they can be some of the quickest and least painful designs available.
Customizing Your Fairy Tattoo
Fairies are commonly represented in art and literature, and many women use these designs as a jumping point to customize their own fairy tattoos. These fairy designs can be customized by color, hairstyle, clothing design, the possibilities are endless. The wealth of fairy designs available to be created as a tattoo almost guarantees that no two fairy tattoos will be the same.
Fairy tattoos can signify magic, mischief, or charm, depending on the personality of the wearer. There are many different types of fairies, but most are depicted as a young girl with gossamer wings. In many designs, the wings designate which type of fairy is being depicted, whether a woodland fairy, a mystical fairy, or a fairy created in the imagination of the bearer. For many, fairy tattoos symbolize freedom, beauty, nature, and eternal youth.
Due to the small size of most designs for fairy tattoos, they can also be one of the least expensive tattoos to obtain. Most designs require a minimal amount of work and only use a limited number of colors. The addition of more colors or an increase in size will understandably be reflected by an increase in the price to have the tattoo completed. Fairy tattoos are very popular at the moment in many cultures, especially in the United States. Many tattoo artists will have a wide range of templates for fairy tattoos located on their premises, and many possess the skill to duplicate a design that you have created on your own, giving you a fairy design that is truly unique to your personality.
