Meaning of Ladybug Tattoo

Ladybug Tattooss are very sought after, especially by women, because they are very delicate.

The ladybug tattoo can have meaning of protection, happiness, luck, love, friendship, and good deeds done.

According to European folklore and Christian symbolism, during the Middle Ages insects were destroying the crops. So the Catholic farmers prayed to the Virgin Mary for help. Soon the ladybugs came and devoured the pests that were destroying the plants and saved the crops. The farmers called them ?the beetles of Our Lady? or ?the beetles of
Our Lady? and eventually they became known as ?lady beetles? and then ?ladybugs? as they are called nowadays in English. The ladybug's red wings represent the Virgin Mary's cloak, and the black dots her joys and sorrows. However, even though they may have religious significance, ladybug tattoos are usually not linked to religion, but rather in the middle of gardens or other benign and colorful insects, or even isolated.

In Chinese culture, ladybugs represent luck. Legend has it that if a ladybug lands on a person, true love will come their way. The number of spots on this ladybug indicates how many months it will take for this person to find this love.

The ladybug is a symbol of friendship for balancing the gardens and thus working in harmony with nature.

There are many superstitions about ladybugs, such as: if a ladybug lands on your hand it means you will have good news and positive energy, the number of points on the ladybug means how many years of good luck the person who
finding will have, or finding a ladybug is a sign that good luck is on the way.

The vast majority of the time, ladybugs are red in color, which represents love, passion, vitality, energy, and warmth.
