People often choose a bird tattoo because of the brilliance of color that you can have with birds, and the strong symbolism that many bird images portray. Freedom and grace are clearly reflected in all bird images to a greater or leser degree – this is especially the case with swallow images. While the eagle is the perfect image of strength and pride. Individuals choose eagles because they want to show this quality in themselves, and to express their patriotism. The mystical Phoenix has a strong meaning of rebirth and renewal. In mythology the Phoenix dies and is reborn out of its own ashes. People who wear a Phoenix tattoo often want to reflect arising out of something that has been destroyed themselves, or a rebirh into a new phase in their lives.
