Fairy Tattoos are perhaps the most feminine of all tattoos and specifically portray the essence of femininity more than any other tattoo design. This tattoo is understandably conceived from the fact that fairies have traditionally found a place in the childhood of most girls.

Significance of Fairy Tattoos

The fairy is essentially a fantasy creature that has a rather pretty looking human form. It is often depicted as a sign of purity and feminine nature. Most Fairy Tattoos are adorned with wings. Other interpretations of Fairy Tattoos include them being representative of a playful nature or someone who values everything womanly. For some folks, the Fairy Tattoos signify magic and innocence but in all such interpretations, one thing remains constant, i.e. Fairy Tattoos have a defined feminine aura to them. They are chosen by women of all age groups. In fact, they are the most common of first-time tattoos chosen by teenage girls. Women too prefer them, often getting such tattoos inked with feminine shades like pink and mauve, to render the tattoo a more designer, sensual form. The most common variations of Fairy Tattoos include those created with the fairy having a slightly devilish look instead of the usual, angle-like features or being rendered a gothic design.

Fairy Tattoos: Design Variations

Fairy Tattoos are highly maneuverable in terms of their placement but most women seem to have a preference for getting them inked on their hips, waist, lower back or the upper arm. Usually, women get Fairy Tattoos inked on body parts that have some degree of visibility, i.e. at least when wearing party dressed or sensual costumes. Some common components of Fairy Tattoo designs include:
• Fairy Tattoos with a graphically-inked fairy silhouette
• Anime-influenced Fairy Tattoos
• Fairy Tattoos with large flowers depicted as the wings
• Fairy Tattoos with a heart in the background
• Fairy Wings—Angle Type (the fairy resembles angels depicted in mythological texts)
• Fairy Wings—Bird Type (the fairy seems to be floating through the air)
• Fairy Tattoos where the fairy is accompanied by Elves
• Fairy Tattoos with the fairy in a sleeping-like pose
• Fairy Tattoos with multiple stars in the background
• Fairy Tattoos wherein the only the wings are colored, i.e. along with presence of a black outline, creating a beautiful contrast
