Each owner lays the meaning of a tattoo for himself. The same body image for different people can mean the opposite. Most controversial tattoo is a drawing of a phoenix, most often stuffed by girls. For a person who decides on such a decoration, it is important to know in which color options and styles the sketch will look the most advantageous.
The meaning of the phoenix tattoo
Phoenix tattoo (meaning for girls usually differs from how such a sketch is perceived by men) usually symbolizes the rebirth of a person's spiritual world after a turning point in life. Since ancient times, people have associated this bird with fire, vital energy, cyclical life and immortality.
Girls, due to their emotional nature, are used to believing in mysticism, magic, magic. That is why the body drawing of a phoenix for them is most often a kind of talisman, a talisman that can prolong human life, strengthen health, increase wealth and luck in endeavors.
A person who has made a decision for himself to get a tattoo depicting a phoenix seeks to emphasize his awareness of the fact that life is cyclical and constantly changing.
He understands that the events taking place both in the world and in the life of a particular family are repeated; only the scale and some external circumstances change.
Choosing a place for a tattoo
Phoenix tattoo will emphasize the individuality of its owner. It looks like a full-fledged work only if you choose the right place for its creation.
For girls, it is of great importance how the body pattern stands out from the general perception of her appearance. Employers, regardless of the position they offer, are reluctant to accept girls with tattoos on visible parts of the body, for example, hands or face, into their subordination.
Based on the recommendations of tattoo artists, choosing a place for a drawing should be based on:
- Its size (small pictures should be printed on the least mobile parts of the body, since frequent changes in the state of the skin can provoke deformation of the tattoo. As a result, it will be impossible to make out the details of the image, and the tattoo will look like a dark spot on the skin).
- Pain threshold (in some parts of the body, needle penetration is most painful).
- How open the place chosen for the tattoo is.
Where do women get phoenix tattoos?
A phoenix tattoo (even the outline of a bird without drawing the details of the image matters for girls) is equally common on all parts of the female body. This is due to the fact that there are a lot of options for such a picture, which means that it is not difficult for an experienced tattoo artist to "adjust" the image to the selected area.

Palm, hand, fingers
Filling a phoenix tattoo on the palm, hand or fingers will only be undertaken by a master with extensive experience and the proper degree of qualifications and professionalism. The difficulty of creating a tattoo in this case lies in drawing the details of the sketch on the minimum area of the skin in the selected area.
In addition, the result of the work done will be unpredictable for physiological reasons. The skin in the lower part of the upper limbs is much thinner and more mobile than in the rest of the female body. This means that even if the drawing turns out the way it was originally planned, most likely it will lose its original appearance after the first six months of wearing a tattoo.
A tattoo on the palm symbolizes the integrity of the personality of its owner, as well as the strength of mind and strength of will, which helps in overcoming life's difficulties.
Neck
Brave girls who are accustomed to challenging society with their actions prefer to place the phoenix on their necks.Such a tattoo attracts the attention of others and can bring a number of difficulties to its owner when finding employment for a high position.
A tattoo of a mythical creature in the neck area symbolizes the girl's indifference to the opinions of others, her self-sufficiency and desire to live for her own pleasure. Given the small area of the working surface of the skin, it is worth giving preference to simple, small sketches.
Chest
The phoenix on the chest is a symbol of the frequent rebirth of the girl's inner world. The owners of such a tattoo usually have a difficult life and are forced to break themselves more than once in overcoming life circumstances. Body designs in the chest area look most beautiful in color.
Given the large area of the work space, in order to fill the phoenix in the part of the body in question, you can choose any sketch and supplement it with your own details (for example, dates of significant events or life credo). Despite the large size of such a tattoo, it will not be difficult to hide it from prying eyes (using wardrobe items).
Side
Stuffing a phoenix tattoo on the side is recommended for girls with an ideal figure. Otherwise, it will be difficult to qualitatively transfer the drawing to the body, and its original appearance will be "lost" due to the peculiarities of the body structure of people with an excess layer of subcutaneous fat.
Large tattoos that imply a large number of details will look beautiful in this area. Drawing them will make the picture whole and alive. Considering that the tattoo on the side quickly loses its original appearance, tattoo artists recommend making them colored.
Leg
To get a phoenix on your leg, it is best to choose the simplest sketches in black and white or solid color. Despite the lack of opportunity for others to fully appreciate the beauty of such a tattoo, it will be striking, being a kind of "highlight" in the appearance of its owner.
Having decided to place a tattoo on her leg, the girl thus seeks to emphasize her independence, stability in life and readiness for all fateful trials.
The sketch here should be isolated, without additional inscriptions and details that impede the general perception of the picture.
Back
Depending on the girl's preferences, a large tattoo, medium in size, or several small ones, representing a single composition, can be stuffed on her back. The isolated creation of a small tattoo in this area is not recommended, since it will not really be visible to others or to the owner herself.
Full-size sketches usually involve a drawing of a mythical bird with open wings, at the bottom of which the remains of the ash left after its uprising fly off. This is a kind of symbol of courage, resilience and at the same time fragility for the owner of such a wearable pattern.
Hip
A large image of a phoenix on the thigh is suitable for girls who want to emphasize their sexuality. Such tattoos look most advantageous in color with a drawing of the smallest details, including the plumage of a mythical bird and its head.
With the help of such a tattoo, defects in appearance (stretch marks, scars, scars, burns) are usually hidden, which gives additional confidence to the owner of such a wearable pattern. The sketch should be chosen taking into account the size of the thigh area: the more space, the more small details of the image can be drawn.
Stomach
Girl's belly tattoos look especially feminine and mysterious.
