While flies are often considered one of the most annoying insects and their presence is associated with filth, death and decay, fly tattoos can actually carry a much deeper meaning. .
If you identify with themes such as perseverance and business acumen then the fly may be the tattoo for you.
The main reason we associate flies with death and decay is because this is their symbol in the Bible. They are also often found in places where there is death because they act as decomposers in the overall ecosystem. However, think of it this way: flies are born from death and decay. This is why flies can be the ultimate symbol of perseverance, and for many people, strength is found in rising from something that is decaying or dying.
Furthermore, flies have a certain opportunistic function in ecology by taking advantage of difficult everyday situations; this is the reason they demonstrate business acumen.
Fly tattoos aren’t for everyone, especially if you decide to pursue a more realistic artistic style. However, flies can be applied in a variety of styles, from simple, cartoonish lines to anatomical diagrams. The size range of fly tattoos can vary as well as the color scheme and placement. For a more optimistic look at the fly tattoo, choose bright colors, as if these colors are being reflected from the fly. For a more traditional, pessimistic look at the fly, opt for simple black and white instead.
