Blue butterflies are a popular color choice for tattoo lovers.  

In addition to symbolizing freedom and transformation, blue butterflies are also associated with love and good luck. 

Using vibrant, natural, realistic colors and shades on your blue tattoo will bring your butterfly to life and give it a personality of its own. 

Both the rarest (the Palos Verdes Blue) and the largest butterfly species (the Blue Morpho) are blue, while despite not being found in nature a lot of collectors get monarch butterfly tattoos in variation of blue instead of the customary orange, black, and white. 

While predominantly associated with women’s tattoo art, blue butterflies are becoming more popular with men due to its association with good luck and the transformation linked to new beginnings. 

The gallery of top 63 best blue butterfly tattoos depicts the different application styles that can be incorporated into a blue design, whether it’s a single insect or group of butterflies.
