History of fairy tattoos:

The word fairy in Latin means “fata” or fate. This explains why fairies are believed to have mystical powers that can influence a persons future or fate. Children love fairy stories because their young minds can easily imagine a super natural friend that can take them on interesting journeys. Adults like fairies because they represent optimism and a return to youthful imaginations.

Other names for fairies are fay, fey, faery, and faerie. Which in some cultures means wee folk, gnomes, goblins, or good and peaceful folk. They are often depicted as legendary spiritual creatures that have supernatural powers.

Things to consider when getting a fairy tattoo:

The first thing to consider is that a tattoo is permanent and the decisions you make now will follow you to the grave. Choose your tattoo artist and tattoo design very carefully and make sure your choice is something you can live with long term.  Even though fairy tattoos do not carry the same stigma as gangsta or criminal tattoos and are usually socially ok in some circles your tat may not be seen as acceptable behaviour.
