The best tattoo design is the one *you* spend the time, effort, and footwork conceiving and developing. None of us Y!A flunkies can tell you what to get because we don't know anything about you besides the fact that you like butterflies. There must be more that makes you a unique, creative, interesting woman than just that. As far as your artwork goes, I would suggest doing a bit of footwork and taking the time to make it really special. Don't just get something because it is "cute" and "feminine" or "trendy." If you do, you are just asking for serious regret in a few months or years down the road when you ask yourself, "Why did I get that tribal butterfly?" It is much more productive and personal to get off the internet and put in the extra effort anyway, I promise. Go to some tattoo studios and look through portfolios just to get ideas (this will help you find an artist you like as well). Go to a bookstore and geek out on art books, graphic novels, botany books, old lithographs, whatever inspires you. Brainstorm about people and things and books and poems that mean something to you. Once you have some ideas, find an artist who is trustworthy, works in a clean environment with an autoclave system, and whose style you like, and schedule a consultation with that artist. Consults are always free. Tell him/her your ideas, show pictures, what ever inspires you, and together you'll be able to design a unique tattoo that will be perfect for you. If butterflies end up being at the top of that list as meaningful and creative, then awesome. Get a butterfly and don't let anyone bully you out of it. If not, though, I bet you'll find something better than you could have imagined just sitting here on Y!A. Best of luck, love!
