People often choose a bird tattoo because of the brilliance of color that you can have with birds, while birds also can have very strong symbolic meaning. Every image of a bird represents grace and freedom in some way – this is especially the case with swallow images. The eagle is also noble, strong, proud and majestic. An eagle image worn in a tattoo can express these qualities of pride and strength in the wearer very powerfully.
