Every Tattoo Has a Story
Phoenix bird never really dies. It is an immortal creature and will always rise from its ashes.
In mythologies, the phoenix can be described as a mix of red, purple, and gold. Either it dies in an egg, or it dies in the cleansing fires of renewal, where it is reborn from its ashes.
Its attributes, which include creation, resurrection, and new beginnings, are all consistent with these themes and are often associated with mythological birds. They have become icons of self-improvement and reinvention as well as new beginnings.
These associations with the Phoenix bird and phoenix tattoos are, in essence, the essence of human nature – growing through adversity to re-emerge.
The symbolism of an ouroboros snake/dragon, which directly refers to self-renewal as well as resurrection, is also available. There is a strong connection between the snake symbolism, the dragon, and the phoenix.
The Phoenix represented many things according to ancient beliefs. Its different names were used to represent these. For the Egyptian culture, it represents rebirth as well as a new period of wealth and fertility. For the Greco-Romans, immortality, and resurrection. Breaking down the barriers for the Persians. It is also a symbol of great virtue, grace, and power in Chinese culture.
