Pheonix Tattoo
Here is a stunning Pheonix tattoo gracing the woman’s full back. Absolutely striking, this tattoo makes great use of the stylized traditional motif to be timeless. If you want your tattoo design to not date, always go to the classics, or to aboriginal art, or other longstanding symbols.These designs have withstood the test of time.
Also striking on this pheonix tattoo is the limited use of colours. The duotone usage of red and black is inspired. Pheonixes are usually very colorful - with a tail of gold and scarlet (or purple, blue, and green according to some legends)
What you tattoo is important too, and the pheonix is an enduring symbol from mythology. A pheonix is a fire spirit - it is the symbol of rebirth. A pheonix can live 500 to 1,000 years, and nearing the end of its lifecycle, it will build a nest of twigs that will ignite into a huge fire. The nest and bird will burn fiercely and will be reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix or phoenix egg arises, reborn anew to live again.
The phoenix is the central figure in Lebanese culture as Lebanese are descendants of the Phoenicians. Beirut is often depicted as a phoenix bird as it was destroyed and rebuilt 7 times during its long history.
If lasting eternity is your game, consider a pheonix tattoo.
