As a tattoo design, the phoenix is probably the most visually spectacular form of body art. The legend of the phoenix bird is known throughout the world, and has its origins in much of Europe, Middle East and Far East. The basic symbolism of the phoenix is resurrection and rebirth by fire. Although the legend is the same worldwide, there are subtle differences. In Chinese legends, the phoenix was known as "Fenghuang". This bird is the second most respected legendary creature. Only the dragon is more respected. The phoenix is used to represent the empress and was as the leader of birds. The Japanese word for phoenix is "FushichÅ". It is known as "Immortal Bird". The phoenix holds a rich diversity of meanings and beliefs, not to mention a beautiful design for body art.
