Black tribal phoenix tattoo on back of girls shoulder

Because of their impressive wingspan and graceful design, phoenix tattoos make a great tattoo design for girls. This girl has a large tribal phoenix tattoo inked in black and white on the back of her left shoulder, and the phoenix’s tail feathers extend onto her left shoulder blade. Although the phoenix is a mythical creature, it carries significant meaning when used in tattoo designs, much like dragons in Asian cultures. According to ancient legend, the phoenix can live for hundreds of years, but when it grows tired, it sets itself on fire and rises from the ashes to be reborn. Because of this myth, phoenix tattoos for men and women typically signify rebirth or new beginnings.
