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.
Bird tattoos are also very popular due to their connection with religion as well as the mystical. Birds can be found in every era of history; stick figurines of birds have been discovered in the ancient Egyptian tombs in the pyramids, bedecking Arapaho Ghost Dance costumes, at African traditional rituals and weddings across all religions. Christian portrayals of cherubs and angels show them having wings, which are synonymous with birds. In almost all instances, birds are symbols of all the positive things in life, which is why many people tend to go for bird tattoo designs, especially for their first tattoos.
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.
