4. Butterfly on Neck Tattoo

Tattoo: Towards the right side of his neck, Dale has got a beautiful butterfly tattooed.

Meaning: Butterfly is the symbol of young love. It is believed to represent the romantic side of the wearer. Just like the butterfly flies among the flowers similarly, the young blood is believed to wander around his social life spreading and sharing love. Butterfly tattoo also stands for joy, happiness, delicate beauty, and a symbol of rebirth and resurrection. Some people get this tattoo to represent the beginning of a new phase in their life i.e. to mark a new journey.

Dale got this tattoo while being live on YouTube by Abi. i.e. her co-star, fellow islander, Abigail Rawlings.
