Today i am going to share meanings of some of the tattoos....just keep reading! may be it will give you an idea what kind of a tattoo you want and what will it depict.

EAGLE TATTOO: is a typically male design that crosses over a significant number of tattoo genres, and the influence of the eagle in American tattooing cannot be underestimated. For freedom lovers everywhere, the Eagle's ability to fly to the tops of mountains and swoop silently into valleys makes it the unchallenged symbol of a free spirit. The influence of the Eagle in American tattooing cannot be over-estimated, especially within the military and patriotic service tattoos genres

BUTTERFLY TATTOO: A generally feminine tattoo design choice and a perennial favorite. It's ranking shows the growing influence that women have in tattoo culture. Even so, the Butterfly is not entirely the exclusive domain of the feminine. The Roman Emperor, Augustus, took it as his personal symbol, and the warrior priests of the Mexican Popolucas peoples sported the Butterfly as a motif on their breastplates. Their Butterfly was also the symbol of fire. Delightful, magical and transformational, the Butterfly reminds its admirers of the mystery of nature and the richness of human imagination.

While butterfly tattoos for girls can be cute, their symbolism is entirely different. Butterfly tattoos with meaning is quite ambiguous because some consider it as a representation of childbirth will others associate it with fragility impermanence of human life.

THE PHOENIX TATTOO: is another tattoo design that illustrates the enduring popularity of Asian tattooing traditions. But the phoenix is also a design with a rich mythological history in both Eastern and western cultures. Tales of the phoenix appear in ancient Arabian, Greek, Roman, and Far Eastern mythology. In both Greek and Egyptian tales, the phoenix represented the sun, dying in flames at the end of the day and rising each morning.The fire represents death and turbulence, and the rising phoenix bird symbolizes victory over death or the troubles of life! The rising phoenix tattoo design also represents rebirth/resurrection/new beginning. Which means no matter how difficult the past might have been for you, no matter how many difficult situations you would have gone through, no matter how much people or situations have tried to break you, you still emerge as a winner defeating all the challenges of life! Because of this, many believers in Christ's resurrection also go for a rising phoenix bird tattoo design reminding themselves of the Christ's 'winning over death' and living a 'new life after death'!

CROSS TATTOO: As a tattoo design or symbol, there is perhaps no religious icon or symbol more universally recognized today than the Christian Cross. Religious symbolism is prominently featured in several tattoo design genres, both ancient and modern, and in fact it could be argued that all traditional tattooing among indigenous peoples has a strong spiritual element.
