Change Tattoo Designs

A transforming butterfly is common for tattoos that represent change. To represent change in love or relationships, you could use two butterflies flying together as a Chinese interpretation of love. If you experienced a personal struggle, a butterfly emerging from a cocoon represents emerging change, or turning over a new leaf.

Speaking of turning over a new leaf, you could use the literal representation in tattoos that symbolize change. Consider a tree with falling leaves that have changed to fall browns, oranges, reds and yellows. Within that pile, show one larger leaf that is three-quarters green and the rest transforming to fall colors. It is an artistic interpretation to overcoming something difficult and making changes to improve yourself.

Quotes are good options to display change through body art. Something like, “You can change your life by changing your heart”, “Change is the only constant”, or from Ghandi, “Be the change you want to see in the world.”
