This inner forearm tattoo centres on a large morpho-style butterfly rendered in full colour, with wings spread open in a symmetrical display. The upper wings are packed with rich cerulean and teal shading, crisp black patterning, and delicate white spots running along the edges, while the lower wings fade into black and grey shadow to give the piece a subtle three-dimensional quality, as though the butterfly is lifting off the skin. Beneath the butterfly, a flowing cursive script reads ‘Always with me’, giving the composition a clear memorial quality.
Created at the Ghostship Shop in Liverpool, this piece is a solid example of how colour realism and fine script can sit together comfortably in a compact inner forearm placement. The contrast between the vivid blue wings and the softening grey undersides keeps the eye moving across the design, while the sentiment below grounds it with something personal and lasting.
