Moth Tattoo Meaning

There's this moth called the death's-head hawkmoth, which has a pattern on its body right between the wings that looks exactly like a skull. (That's the moth on the cover of Silence of the Lambs!) This made it a popular figure in folktales/myths/superstitions regarding death. I'm assuming that's the origin of the butterfly/skull imagery.
It doesn't symbolise anything specific, just invokes general ideas of beauty/death.

It's an interesting question, but the truth is... it's a popular design that women like, more than anything else. Kinda like faries or dolphins. They're just pretty, and women go for that kinda stuff. It's kinda like guys having skulls and dragons. Those are popular masculine tattoos worn almost exclusivly by men. The television shows/soap operas would have you belive otherwise, but most people just get what they like. That's the real truth of it, in most cases. But because of TV shows, everyone is looking for 'hidden meaning'. Go figure.

I believe the butterfly symbolizes the soul and the skull is death

The skull symbolizes mortality, while the butterfly symbolizes rebirth and growth... Together they symbolize overcoming a tragedy or changing your ways.
