New Fairy Tattoos

Fairy tattoos are a fairly recent development and they represent a certain range of interests or way of thinking. A fairy tattoo design can be cute and rather precious, like something out of a children’s book, but fairies are not as innocent as they look.

Fairy tattoos have a nostalgic appeal for those who remember childhood fondly and wish to keep the images of childhood part of their lives on an ongoing basis. In that sense, fairy tattoos are a symbol of our youth.

The fairy is a female mythological figure that has magical powers and originates from Celtic mythology. Usually they are small, beautiful creatures with transparent wings, a green dress and a human appearance.

They live in wonderland and can take people there as well. According to legend, there is little consensus regarding how big fairies were, and how human-like they were in form. The tiny, Tinkerbelle-type fairy is only one interpretation.

The supernatural powers of the fairy include:

• Flying
• Casting spells
• Foreseeing and influencing the future

The origins of fairies are not very clear, there are several beliefs of what fairies really are:

• A popular belief is that fairies are the dead.
• Another belief is that they are a kind of degraded angel.
• Others view them as an intelligent species, different from angels and humans. They used to live on the British islands, but were forced into hiding.
• Yet another belief is that they were devils.
