A pixie with bright butterfly wings stands out and combines two common themes-- the fairy and the butterfly. Select hues based on personal preference or go with a classic butterfly color scheme such as black and orange, similar to the style of a monarch.
A colorless pixie tattoo uses shades of gray to define the design. Color is rarely used in a typical black and gray style tattoo, although small enhancements done in color sometimes add to the look.
Floral pixie tattoos are perfect for people who possess a closeness to nature. Create a flower-inspired pixie or use a favorite bloom as the base for a pixie seat. Wrap flowers around the pixie or enhance the frame of the tattoo to include flowers without altering the pixie itself.
A gothic pixie differs from the standard designs and really shows off the person's individual style. Purple clothing, black-and-white striped stockings and tattoos of her own make this type of pixie tattoo distinct.
A pixie tattoo created in memorial to a loved one who has passed on serves as a wonderful tribute to a free spirit. Have the artist design the pixie in likeness to the person or include the name and date to signify the memorial.
A mystical pixie tattoo includes a bit of magic to enhance the design and personalize it to the person's style. A magic wand spreading stars or a burst of fairy dust trailing behind the flying pixie adds to the mystical element.
Instead of a traditional portrait-style tattoo, get a pixie with the same characteristics of the admired person. Hair style, facial features and body type make the pixie look like the person as long as the tattoo artist is skilled. A beautifully scrolled name below the image completes the portrait pixie tattoo.
Men who want a pixie tattoo or people who desire something fun and exciting enjoy a sexy rendition of the classic fairy. A provocative pose or revealing clothing make the otherwise sweet pixie tattoo sexy.
A traditional pixie tattoo offers the perfect design for first timers new to tattooing. A delicate fairy style pixie sitting on a mushroom or spreading its wings in flight looks great on any part of the body.
Tribal pixie tattoos look quite different than any other style of fairy. Using only black outlines and rich, curvy lines, a tribal-style pixie is truly uncommon. No shading and limited color enhancements are vital to a classic tribal style tattoo.
