The fashion for tattoos is eternal. People have long sought to decorate their bodies with intricate designs that remind them of a particular event in their lives. Some, of course, do not imply a specific meaning in the chosen tattoo, but this does not mean that the image does not have it. One of the most common and beautiful pictures on the body is the mythical Firebird. A tattoo of such a fabulous orientation is intended to be a bright ornament on the human body, which in difficult times will make you smile and remember something bright.
Image from Russian fairy tales
This magical creature in Russia was considered a symbol of rebirth, new life and even resurrection, which connects it with its overseas brother - the Phoenix. Light and rebirth from the ashes are the main features of living fires that have come to us from legends. In ancient times, this bird was for the Slavs a kind of deity that was responsible for sunlight. Our ancestors really believed that they were protected by none other than the Firebird.
A tattoo, like the mythical creature itself, can also be responsible for the sun only not in the sky, but in the soulhuman.
This fictional character was closely associated with fire, and not just because of his sultry appearance. Just as a fire can burn forever, passing from one log to another, so the Firebird was either a dying or a newly born magical creature. From here came the ancient Roman tradition of putting the image of a bird on coins, since it was believed that this was a symbol of the inviolability and eternal life of the state.
As for later times, during the spread of Christianity in Russia, it was the Firebird that was considered a symbol of the eternal life of the soul. A tattoo with such an image also has a life-affirming meaning.
There are many examples when a tattoo fundamentally changed the character of a person, for example, the image of a skull will not bring anything good, and a picture with a kitten or a puppy will make its owner softer and friendlier. Based on the above, it can be said with accuracy that the Firebird tattoo has a positive meaning and does not bode well for its owner.
Tattoo Meaning
However, no matter how beautiful the image of the Firebird in ancient Russian culture, it is impossible to interpret it as absolutely positive, from the point of view of tattoos. The first and most basic is immortality - this is where the Phoenix bird comes to mind.
The following interpretation is different from the previous ones. It is noteworthy that, among other things, the cosmic symbol of infinity can be identified by the Firebird. The tattoo will give the owner powerful protection from evil influences.only if the person himself puts such a meaning into it. Otherwise, it will “burn” the owner, that is, it will change its essence. He can completely change his tastes and become a completely different person.
How is the Firebird depicted on a tattoo?
The bird looks very good on the hand in the form of a colorful sleeve. It can be multi-colored and shimmer with all shades of the rainbow or consist of the usual bright orange or scarlet color. Often a fabulous bird is depicted in flight - it seems to flutter from its chest to the hand of its owner, reliably protecting him from the evil eye. The Firebird feather on the back looks good. It looks very impressive when bright, as if fiery feathers adorn the skin.
There are a great many images, but only the lover of drawings on the body will decide what his Firebird (tattoo) will be. You can see photos with different tattoo options in the article.
