Tattoo
Possibly more than any other tattoo, the phoenix tattoo has powerful symbolism, which in this case is rising from the ashes of death in a new birth.
It’s a sign of the old passing away and the new emerging.
Some of the images used to ink on the body have a look of dragons, as there are scales included in the art in many cases. There are also times when the peacock looks like an inspiration for some of the phoenix tattoo designs.
The unique look of the phoenix gives tattoo designers and artists a lot to worke with, as they can elongate the bird through swooping wings or extended necks and bodies, which allows it to work on a number of different body parts.
Very cool tattoo design which is growing in popularity.
