Butterfly Celebrity Tattoo

Here's a list of celebrities that have a butterfly tattoo:
  • Drew Barrymore: has one on her abdomen, right under her belly button.
  • Maria Carey: has a lower back butterfly tattoo (fake or not?).
  • Paris Hilton: has a small butterfly tattoo on her back (could be temporary).
  • Kelis: has a butterfly on her stomach.
  • Dolly Parton: country star with a flutterby on her chest.
  • Julia Roberts: has a lower back butterfly.
  • Britney Spears: has a butterfly tattoo on her

  • left foot.

To sum it up: butterfly tattoos are among the most versatile tattoo images, which helps explain their popularity with women. They are inherently feminine, but not necessarily ‘girly’ and you can make either a bold or subtle statement with butterfly tattoo art. All of this means that we are likely to see even more butterfly tattoos in the years to come.

Some Pros and Cons of Foot Tattoo






Foot tattoos can look very striking – for one thing, the foot provides a nice flat place for the tattoo to lie, and for another thing, foot tattoos are rather rare and therefore sort of exotic (this was true at the time of writing, but foot tattoos are becoming rather popular nowadays, especially amongst woman). There’s no question that a foot tattoo peaking out of a sexy shoe can be very attractive.

The most popular foot tattoo designs are flower tattoos, letter tattoos and the star foot tattoo.

Sun and Moon Foot Tattoo

There are some good reasons why foot tattoos are rarer than other tattoos, though. In fact, there are some tattoo artists who won’t even undertake them (just like hand and face tattoos). For a start, tattoos on the foot and hand tend to be more painful than other tattoos.

The general rule is this: if a tattoo is right over bone, it will hurt more. If it’s on a fleshy part of your body, it’ll hurt a lot less. That’s why a shoulder or upper arm might be a better place for a first tattoo – if you’re a little worried about the pain and not sure what to expect.

For another thing, though there are many tattoo designs that look great on a foot, there is also a greater incidence of ink migration with foot tattoos. This means, simply, that the ink is likely to spread over time, blurring your tattoo design. This is possible with any tattoo, on any part of the body – but it’s more common with foot tattoos.

If you get a foot tattoo, be prepared to go back and have it re-inked if need be. The top of your foot is the best place with the least blurring, avoid other places like the sides or the toes.

Then there’s the little issue of healing. In general, a new tattoo should not be allowed to rub against clothing while it heals, which usually takes two to three weeks. For most tattoos, this is a pretty simple matter, but not for foot tattoos! Basically, depending on the placement of your tattoo designs, this may mean that you can’t wear shoes or socks for the whole time your tattoo is healing!

Some foot care tips for a shorter healing period:

  • Wear flip flops or other open shoes during the healing process so the shoe doesn't rub against the tattoo. If the flip flop touches the tattoo, then it's advisable that you get a pair of Down Unders, a kind of topless flip flop. If you really have to wear shoes, then wear 2 pair of light socks.
  • The best time for getting a tattoo on your foot is in the summer, it might be a bit cold without shoes in the winter.
  • Roll up your trousers if they touch the tattoo.
  • Keep your tattoo out of the sun.
  • Keep your feet clean, take a regular foot bath with warm water and a mild soap. Dry them by dabbing with a towel, don't rub.
  • Keep the tattoo moist by applying a good ointment (Lubriderm). Don't make it too moist or the colors will bleed.
  • Don't rub the tattoo.
  • Don't swim until the healing process is over.
  • Keep in mind that walking could be difficult the first few days because of foot pain. If possible take a few days off from work.
  • Find a tattoo artist who has experience doing foot tattoos. Ask him for advice.

Even It is, after all, a great deal better to have access to thousands of designs than to keep chasing after them by visiting one site after another.

Do recall, though, that to get your hands on a tattoo finder may involve paying a fee. So don't be surprised if you end up finding a large number of designs on these kinds of websites.

Professional tattoo artists like to showcase their designs on the Internet. The Internet has certainly made a tattoo finder easy to locate.

So don't select a design simply because you got too tired of looking for one.

The problem is that the free sites tend to have the same designs. And just searching the Internet for the longest time can be a waste of effort. Superb tattoo designs aren't easy to find.
