Ladybug Tattoos

Ladybugs represent all things positive.  This positive energy is what makes ladybug tattoos as popular as they are.  Females are typically the ones to get them, probably because the bug itself, the “ladybug,” is a feminine subject matter, starting with its title.    The most common locations women get ladybug tattoos are on their ankles, arms, and bellies.

Ladybugs are always shiny and come in various colors.  Most ladybugs are orange or red with black spots.  However, sometimes you can find them wearing solid black or pale yellow.  In reality, the bugs are actually helpful because they eat unwanted bugs without causing us any harm. 

The luckiest and most welcome bug in the world is commonly discussed as the ladybug.  There are various beliefs and superstitions that discuss the many types of luck the ladybug has to offer.  Among the sick, the ladybug will heal.  If a ladybug is found on your person, it means tons of luck is coming your way, and the redder the bug, the more luck is sent.  On the contrast, if you kill a ladybug, bad luck and illness is supposed to follow.  So next time you try to kill a bug, make sure it’s not a ladybug! 

Among some Native American tribes, the ladybug symbolizes delight, trust, and wishes.  The number of spots on the ladybug would represent how many days will pass before your wish comes true.  While in other cultures, the ladybug is said to bring good luck from the Love Goddess.  In this theory, the number of spots will represent the number of “love” prospects that are in the works.  Sometimes the bug also symbolizes good fortune or good weather. 

If you can believe all of the folklore that ladybugs bring, next time you are in the presence of a ladybug, good fortune, good luck in love, good weather, and good health are some of the things you have to look forward to.    It is often believed that ladybug tattoos will bring the wearer all the good luck and positivity that real ladybugs bring.  So what are you waiting for?
