Henna tattoos are made from a paste extracted from the henna plant. They are traditionally used for good luck and prosperity on various special occasions such as weddings.
You have a variety of shapes and patterns to choose from when it comes to designs. You can also explore different colors like red, orange and brown for your tattoo design. Some of the most common henna designs are butterflies, flowers, and mandalas. They are one of the most popular designs in the tattoo world right now. It can usually take up to a few hours for henna tattoos to sink into your skin. However, they are extremely safe to use and do not cause irritation except in certain cases. Black henna tattoos in particular are known to cause certain health risks if not done properly. That said, here are some of the best butterfly henna tattoo designs for you to check out.
Henna Butterfly Tattoo Designs
A beautiful side butterfly design is engraved on the person’s hand. As can be seen in the picture, the henna has not yet fully absorbed the hand.

The artist for this design chose a plain brown henna ink for this design. It certainly looks incredible and is very easy on the eyes. One of the best things about henna tattoos is that you can explore countless designs and patterns for your tattoo before finally settling on the perfect one.
Unique butterfly henna tattoos
In certain Asian countries, henna is worn by brides on their wedding day. For them, it represents health and wealth and is an integral part of their culture. Over the years, henna tattoos have gained popularity in the West due to their painless techniques and safety. In the image mentioned above, we see a rather unique take on a simple henna design. Instead of just going for a butterfly tattoo, the artist also incorporated a skeleton hand design which makes the tattoo look more interesting and lively. The entire design was done with black henna. As previously mentioned, black henna tattoos can be very irritating to the skin and are not at all safe. There have been reports of severe allergic reactions, pain and blistering from black henna tattoos. So make sure you choose the best quality henna for your tattoo design before getting one.

The wearer has chosen plain brown henna for the tattoo here. However, you can choose from a variety of colors if you want a more colorful look.
Flowers and Butterfly Henna Tattoo
Here is another interesting design of a beautiful henna tattoo. As we can see, the artist applied various unique patterns to one half of the butterfly’s body to emphasize one side of the wing. On the other side of the butterfly’s body, he has simply chosen a beautiful mix of different flowers, making this design not only unique but also deeply meaningful. Both butterflies and flowers are two of the most classic representations of feminine qualities such as beauty, innocence, purity and grace.

Butterfly Henna Neck Tattoos
Neck tattoos are by far one of the coolest and boldest forms of body art. They are tough to look at and add that certain something to your personality. However, all this does come at a hefty price indeed. The neck is one of the most painful areas of your body to get inked. It is an extremely sensitive area and any mistake can lead to serious health problems. However, with henna tattoos, you no longer have to worry about pain or safety. They are completely painless and safe to use. The image mentioned above contains a similar idea of a butterfly henna tattoo etched into the neck of the individual. The artist ended up pairing the tattoo with a simple yet aesthetic ornamental design. Henna tattoos allow you to experiment with different body parts and designs before finally settling on the perfect one.
Butterfly henna tattoo on legs
The image mentioned above contains a beautiful design of a butterfly henna tattoo imprinted on the person’s leg.

When it comes to tattoo designs, don’t hesitate to express your full creativity as tattoos are very personal and no matter what others may say, if it makes sense to you, go ahead with your design. Some of the most common places for henna tattoos are arms, hands, legs and ankles.
Geometric Butterfly Henna Tattoo
Geometric designs are the next big thing in the world of tattooing. They are the perfect fusion of different shapes and lines and look great on each one. However, they are just as difficult to manufacture. To deliver the perfect design, a tattoo artist must have a steady hand and an accurate sense of depth and space. They are the epitome of balance, harmony and symmetry. In this image mentioned above, we see such a beautiful example of a geometric butterfly henna tattoo inked on the wrist of the individual. The design is quite large, which makes it easy to get noticed. If you like these types of tattoos, you might want to consider these for reference next time you get inked.
Cute butterfly henna tattoo
Here is another very cute example of a butterfly henna tattoo design. The wearer has chosen only one half of the butterfly’s body for this tattoo design. Additionally, to add a realistic touch to the subjects, the artist shaded the butterfly’s wing differently and paired the other half with an aesthetic ornamental design. Most henna tattoos are created using brown ink. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t use a different color. Discover different colors like red and orange for your body art. They will look good and make sense in equal measure.
Henna tattoo on back shoulder
Back and shoulder tattoos are incredibly sexy and can also be easily concealed with any piece of clothing if you want a more discreet look. The image mentioned above is a reproduction of the same. A simple yet aesthetic butterfly henna tattoo design is engraved on the back of the person. If you look closely at the image, you can see that the artist has blacked out part of the tattoo design to give the illusion of a butterfly perched on the individual’s shoulder. You can also customize this theme to your liking.
