Butterfly Tattoo Symbolism:
Butterflies are some of the most beautiful, colorful species in the world. Because of all the physical changes a butterfly undergoes during metamorphosis, they are representative of growth and transformation. Get inked with this fluttering creature if you want to acknowledge a period of transition or as a physical reminder to leave behind the hardships from your past.

Cat Tattoo Symbolism:
Cats are a mysterious and unpredictable breed. Known for being nocturnal, they can be associated with darkness and sometimes the occult. Said to have nine lives, these furry felines also symbolize resurrection and rebirth. If you've survived a major health crisis or you have a cat (ahem, or 10) of your own, a cat tattoo may be for you.
