All of my tattoos have meaning for me. :-) But this one specifically, it's a phoenix... mythological bird that when death approaches builds itself a nest of cinnamon and aromatic wood, and lets itself be consumed by the flames. Then, from the ashes, a new phoenix is born.
I like the sybolism behind the new bird rising from the ashes of the old life. I believe we all have parts of our life that feel like that.
There are Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Egyptian, and Native American counterparts of the Phoenix.

how long did that take...it looks very detailed...
it took just over an hour and a half to do that. filling it in will take double that (plus).
Nice body art, sweets. Although I don't sport any tatoos myself, I can appreciate a good looking tatoo :-)
Very nice, Meegs. Does this have special meaning for you? W
