Black phoenix and sun tattoo on girls leg

The girl in this photo has a large phoenix and sun tattoo inked in a cool design on the outside of her thigh. The tat features an intricately detailed phoenix rising up with the sun simultaneously rising in the  background. The leg tattoo is inked in black and white and extends from the girl’s hip down to her knee. One of the most common meanings of a phoenix tattoo is new beginnings or overcoming a difficult time or obstacle in one’s life. This is because the legend of the mythical bird of fire says that the phoenix sets itself on fire when it grows tired and then rises from the ashes to be reborn. Sun tattoos also have similar meanings, since the sun sets every evening and rises anew every morning.
