Placement of the butterfly tattoo designs also have their own individual meanings as well. It is interesting to note that almost all women choose one of the chakra points for location and don’t even realize it. The seven points are crown of the head, forehead (between the eyes), throat, heart, reproduction (includes lower back and lower belly), solar plexus and tribal root (below the groin).
