BIRDIES – superpowers
loving and cute, birdies tattoos unleash a great sweetness in
us… but they hide much bigger a meaning than them
birdies – of any kind – have super powers
all birdies are the only animal group that can fly
and sweep across the sky
as well as crawling on dry land
and even fishing in the sea or perching on its surface to chill out a little
birdies are free to do something more than the others
they have a world of extra possibilities
they have different views from all of us, simple earthlings
who knows what they think of us, that we have opposable thumb and we take it
so much for granted
there are all kinds of birdies and each one have an extra gear
here are some hidden meanings:
the swallow tattoo > professional traveler, he is an explorer of worlds, but he travels only in the company of his family, who loves and supports with tooth and claw; common symbol of “old school” tattoos because, thanks to his open wings and forked tail, he looks so much like the anchor of the sailors that follows them on their journey
the robin tattoo > announces the arrival of the snow and the great winter, alias GOT
the parrot tattoo > cheeky exhibitionist, eccentric and exuberant, considers himself superior to others and mocks them repeating their words; anarchist and transgressive, he does not accept social impositions, taunting them
the flamingo tattoo > is the “beautiful and impossible”, elegant and exotic, he takes us to a heavenly world, hard to reach; he is born of a sad grayish white color and he becomes pink only if he eats shrimps, metaphor of the fact that dreams change based on how you feed them and become really special if you spoil them a little
the owl tattoo > or barn owl, they are all birds of ill omen ^_^
with those giant and wide open eyes they scare us even from afar, but it is their song the real bell of ill omen… an omen of a damage that is about to happen; in the symbolism everything is reversed because you look at the collateral beauty hidden in their song of misfortune, which protects us by warning us of the danger. A bit like Archimedes, the owl of Merlin the Magician, who always told him to be careful
the crane tattoo > in Japanese mythology becomes one of the legendary animals sacred to the Emperor (as Kung Fu Panda teaches us) and a bit like it is in in the west that the stork brings children, so in the east the crane helps the man to level up, raising him to a higher stage of consciousness
the swan tattoo > as the ugly duckling becomes a shining swan, so we can take over the reins of our lives and change course towards infinity and beyond; it depends on us, because we all have inside a cool gene
with love, but always irreverent
