How would you feel when suddenly a bird perches on your shoulder and its chirping sounds like it is inviting you to frolic? This might be fun but I would rather have a classic bird tattoo on my body because it would eliminate the possibility of getting yourself dirtied. Furthermore, I do not want to cause the little animal much stress that it could no longer fly and might end up dying.Birds are everywhere, both wild and domesticated. Sizes and species flourish all over the world. They have become symbols of flight, freedom and the brave spirit. There are folk religions that believe that they carry the spirit of the departed. The raven or crow is associated with witchcraft and black magic. White doves are thought to mean purity and peace.
Before we go to deeper and complicated symbolism, let us consider that they are simple creatures being cared for by the Creator. Challenging the people not to worry about tomorrow, Jesus Christ told the people to look at the birds for they live without worrying where to get food to eat. Thus, to remind yourself of abundance and ever flowing provisions a tattoo of these flying being is in order.
Getting a good drawing for your bird tattoo design is very essential. Take time to make your choice considering that the catalogue for this kind of body mark is very thick. Consult your tattooist as to what is in vogue and his masterpiece design. Reflect well on the qualities that are in you that you would want to find connection to a bird. For example, a bird in flight suggests a flamboyant spirit. An eagle design would mean courage and strength. The dove bearing an olive branch represents peace, new hope, and life.
