Butterfly Tattoo Question

Hi everyone!

I’m thinking about getting a butterfly tattoo and wanted to hear your thoughts. I’ve always loved butterflies and their symbolism of transformation and freedom. I’m wondering if anyone has any advice on placement – should I go for something small on the wrist or a larger piece on my back or thigh?

Also, I’m torn between realistic and more abstract styles. Any recommendations on what would look best and any potential meaning behind different designs? I’d appreciate hearing about your experiences or if you have any photos to share!

Thanks in advance!
