I roughly remember that being the symbolism behind steve mcqueen’s tattoo in papillion.

No. It means that you like butterflies and that is where you chose to put it.

Butterflies have a symbolic association with transformation and with freedom. I haven’t seen that film in a very long time, but I seem to recall a theme of wanting wanting/needing to transform, and of wanting to “fly away”, to escape. (Also, papillion is French for butterfly, but you may have known that already.)

I know an awful lot of women who have a butterfly tattoo on their chest, and I’m pretty sure that none of them committed patricide. I’ve never known a man with a butterfly tatt, but I’m sure they’re out there, and the odds are very good that that they’re not murderers, either.
