Fairies are mythological creatures that possess supernatural powers. They are usually depicted as young ladies with wings, they can make magic and change their appearance. Usually fairies help people, even become someone’s Godmothers bringing their godchild magical objects or powers as a gift. Fairies are said to have a difficult temper: they are arch and playful, kind hearted but cruel at the same time. They can be very touchy and vindictive, but have a sense of aesthetic: they love dances and music, respect loyalty and chastity. Fairies eat flower pollen and drink morning dew. In the time free of dancing and singing they spin or weave beautiful cloth which is later used for making magical shirts and invisible cloaks.

The word ‘fairy’ derives from the Latin word ‘fatum’ that means ‘fate, destiny’. Fairies are a very popular tattoo option full of symbolism. They signify rich imagination that many of us have when we’re kids and that only some of us manage to preserve to the times when we’re grown up. It’s a reminder of our childhood when magic was possible and all our fantasies could come true. Fairy tattoos can also come together with some other magical creatures like unicorns or dragons, they can be adorned with flowers and butterflies – all this enhances the tattoo’s impression.

Fairy tattoos are especially popular with women, who find these tattoos suitable for expressing their feelings and their inner world because of the wide variety of fairy images – naughty, dreamy, cute or powerful. Also a fairy tattoo looks fine anywhere on your body, which is a great advantage.
