Girls detailed back phoenix tattoo in fire colors

Now THIS is a phoenix tattoo! The girl in this photo has a gigantic tattoo of the legendary bird of fire inked across her entire back, beginning at her shoulders and extending all the way down her back and onto her butt cheek. The back tattoo is beautifully designed and inked, with great detail even on such a large scale image. The colorful phoenix tattoo is inked in red, orange and yellow – traditional colors of fire and flames. According to ancient myth, the phoenix can live for as many as 500 years, setting itself on fire when it becomes tired and rising from the ashes to be reborn. Because of this well-known legend, many people opt for phoenix tattoos as a symbol of new beginnings or overcoming an obstacle in their life.
