Phoenix Tattoo Meaning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The phoenix, like the dragon tattoo<\/a>, is also popular because of its size and shape. It can wrap around the wrist and forearm and be positioned on the back and take over that great space. The phoenix is a symbol that holds great meaning in different cultures. For both Greek and Russians, the bird will burst into flames at the end of its life cycle. From the ashes, it is reborn and starts its life again. In Russia, the phoenix is known as the fire-bird and there is a folk  legend that goes along with the name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost all cultures, including the middle east, ancient Rome, Egyptian and Jewish have the same concept of the bird being consumed by fire and rising from the ashes. For many people, this is a symbol of their own lives. When one chapter ends and another begins, we can feel completely renewed. The Phoenix is a perfect tattoo to represent this stage in our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
