In nature there are so many birds and even more than that in tattoo design. Each bird has its own distinctive style, shape, design, meaning and image. Some of the bird tattoo designs that are most popular and sought after around the world are the Eagle, the Swallow, the Dove, the Phoenix and Parrots.

Which Bird Tattoo to Choose?

Bird tattoo designs allow a lot of freedom with colour and brilliant, beautiful design in the feathers, and they are so popular also because of all the different but strong meaning that the differetn birds have in different cultures, as symbols. The Eagle signifies nobility, majesty, pride and pride in your country - patriotism. the dove is the famed symbol of peace and love. All birds represent freedom and independence to a lesser or greater extent.

The Phoenix - a mystical bird of fire that dies and is reborn from its own ashes - the Phoenix often represents renewal and a new beginning. People who chooose a Phoenix often want to represent a rebirth in their own lives, or the beginning of a new life or phase of their lives. A slightly less common bird tattoo design is the stork, which represents good luck and new life - as in legend the sotrk brings babies to new mothers.

It's easy for the wearer of the bird tattoo design to emphasise certain aspects of the particular bird they choose to brin across the meaning they most want portrayed in themselves. Bird tattoo designs can be excellent symbols representing a strong spirituality in the wearer. When the bird in your tattoo is shown in flight with wings spread wide they emphasise pure joy and freedom, more than any other tattoo design.

Birds have also been used by man as messengers, and are also known as messegners from ancient legends. As such a bird in a tattoo conveys any message powerfully.
