What does a phoenix tattoo mean?

The phoenix burns and rises again from its own ashes, so it is the go-to symbol for rebirth, resilience and coming back stronger after a hard time.

Where to place a phoenix tattoo

A phoenix needs space for its wings and tail. Popular spots are the upper back, the shoulder blade, the side of the ribs and the outer thigh. Smaller fine-line versions work on the forearm.
