Tattoo fashion is eternal. People have long sought to decorate their bodies with intricate designs that remind them of an event in their life. 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.
The image of Russian fairy tales
This magical creature in Russia was considered a symbol of rebirth, new life and even resurrection, which connects it with an overseas brother - Phoenix. Light and rebirth from the ashes are the main features of living lights that have come to us from legends. In ancient times, this bird was a kind of deity for the Slavs, who 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 not only in the sky, but in the human soul.
This fictional character was closely associated with fire, and not only because of his sultry appearance. As fire can burn forever, passing from one log to another, the Firebird was either a dying or a newly born magical creature. From here came the ancient Roman tradition of applying 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 the symbol of the eternal life of the soul. A tattoo with such an image also has a life-affirming value.
There are many examples where a tattoo in the roots 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 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 value and does not promise anything bad to its owner.
The meaning of tattoo
However, no matter how beautiful the image of the Firebird in ancient Russian culture may be, it cannot be interpreted as completely positive from the point of view of tattoos. The first and most basic is immortality - here the Phoenix bird just 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 identify the Firebird. A tattoo will give the owner a powerful protection against evil influence only if the person himself puts such a meaning into it. Otherwise, it will “burn” the owner, that is, change its essence. He can completely change his tastes and become a completely different person.
How is the Firebird portrayed on a tattoo?
The bird on a hand in the form of a motley sleeve looks very good. 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 fairytale bird is portrayed in flight - it is as if fluttering from the chest to the hand of its owner, reliably protecting it from the evil eye. The feather of the Firebird on the back looks good. It looks very impressive when bright, like 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 like. Photos with different options for tattoos, you can see in the article.
