For starters butterflies are typically very short lived animals. They typically live from a few days up to two weeks or so depending on the climate and other conditions int heir environment. Either way they have a pretty short life. So butterfly tattoos often are symbolic for the impermanence and shortness of life which serves as a great reminder to live every minute to the fullest. It is sort of the insects world symbol for the Latin term "Carpe Diem" or "Seize The Day". Many ancients believed that the stages that a butterfly goes through from egg, to caterpillar, to cocoon and then finally a butterfly were symbolic of the stages that a human soul goes through.
