An extremely common [[tattoo]] motif, '''butterfly tattoos''' are regularly seen in a wide variety of styles. Outside of aesthetic appeal, they have a broad range of meanings ranging from general "freedom" notions to bisexuality, nature, and religious themes depending on the context and culture (and even, surprisingly, ''masculinity'', as in the movie [[Papillon]]).
