With most people despising insects, it is quite amazing that insect tattoos have become so popular over the last few years. But they have and their popularity seems to grow each and every year. Personally, I am not surprised at this trend because I have seen some really beautiful designs. And for those who are looking for an insect tattoo, there are thousands of insects to choose from. And each of these insects have a particular meaning.

I don’t have the space to cover the meanings of every insect tattoo, but I can give you the meanings of some of the most popular. Let’s start off with the dragonfly design.

This design is very popular in Asian cultures and its meaning is quite simple and elegant. A dragonfly represents rebirth or rejuvenation after loss. This makes it the perfect insect tattoo for someone who has survived a life altering event.

Another popular insect tattoo is the ladybug design. This tattoo is often favored among females, but can be used by males as well. The meaning behind this particular insect tattoo is very simple. The ladybug is often seen as a symbol of good luck. This is because legend states that if you find a ladybug in your home you will soon receive some money. So many people ink this insect tattoo to harness that luck all year long.
