A firebird tattoo is not just a bright and beautiful body decoration, but also a strong amulet. In ancient Russian traditions, the image signifies the Sun and Fire. In order for the symbol to have powerful positive energy, you need to know where and how to apply a tattoo correctly. Who would suit a firebird tattoo? What deep meaning is hidden in this design?
The myth of the magic bird
The Firebird is a fairy-tale character that comes from Russian folk tales. The prototype of the image was the peacock: this is evidenced by the characteristic long feathers and the corresponding size of the body. According to legend, the bird lived in a golden cage and ate exclusively rejuvenating golden apples. They gave her youth and beauty. When the beautiful creature began to sing, pearls fell out of its beak. Only the youngest prince managed to get the bird. It was believed that it was impossible to grab it with bare hands, since the feathers were blazing with fire.
In mythology, the firebird was the personification of the sun, flame, light. She had the amazing ability to die every fall and come to life again the following spring. For this, they began to compare her with the Phoenix bird, the image of which has been known since the Middle Ages. According to myth, the Phoenix prepared himself a bed of fragrant herbs and set himself on fire. After 3 days, he appeared updated, but with accumulated past experience and knowledge. The Slavic firebird was reborn every 500 years. This symbolized infinity, immortality and cyclicality.
The firebird's feather was considered a powerful amulet that protected against witchcraft, damage, and the evil eye. It’s not for nothing that epic heroes used it in battle against their enemies. The fallen feather was brought into the house and placed in a dark room. For several days it illuminated everything around, and then turned into gold. The firebird could be caught using a golden cage and rejuvenating apples as bait.
Who is the tattoo suitable for?
What the firebird tattoo means can be judged from the Slavic epic. This is immortality, renewal, rebirth. The owner of such a picture strives for wisdom and understanding of the meaning of life. He knows that everything in the world is cyclical, that a black stripe will certainly be followed by a white one. Troubles do not frighten such a person, because he approaches life philosophically.
Bird tattoos have a meaning that echoes similar images, because all birds are considered divine messengers. There is an opinion that the souls of dead people inhabit these creatures. The firebird tattoo also symbolizes the immortality of the soul, destiny and, to some extent, fatality. This tattoo is suitable for people who want to start life from scratch. Past experience will help them avoid mistakes in the future, give them wisdom and the opportunity to move forward.
Firebird feather tattoo is suitable for both women and the stronger sex of any age. This is an amulet that will bring good luck in your endeavors, fill your life with new colors and protect you from negative influences. A feather tattoo will protect against the evil eye and witchcraft, especially if the design is located on the wrist, arm or leg.
A firebird tattoo on a girl’s side, thigh or back will become a beautiful body decoration that will emphasize grace, femininity and elegance (see photo in the gallery). A bright image will certainly attract the attention of the opposite sex and arouse admiration among others. A firebird tattoo is often found in men with a strong-willed character and a desire for longevity.
Performance technique
Bird tattoos are one of girls’ favorite body jewelry. Light airy images favorably emphasize youth and beauty, especially in combination with flowers and butterflies. A color sketch in watercolor style is a great option for such an image. Firebird tattoos are best done in peach and yellow shades (see photo below). To make the composition more impressive, you can add red and gold - then the sketch will fully correspond to the book illustration. A firebird tattoo on the shoulder blade and shoulder will become a talisman and decoration for the fair sex.
The image of a firebird feather is a talisman that has magical powers. In order to perform its main function, a small tattoo is applied to the wrist, neck or ankle. It is advisable to hide the image from prying eyes. Classic style or minimalism are suitable for lovers of monochrome designs. Extravagant individuals can look at the geometric drawings, where the firebird is depicted schematically.

The Firebird is a fairytale bird. In the drawings she is depicted as a bird with sweeping wings and a fiery heat on her tail. Except in the pictures, the firebird does not “live” anywhere else, except that there is one small bird with the same name, but it looks more like a bird of paradise, whose feathers shimmer in different colors. Drawing a firebird is not difficult; its drawing is no different from the drawing of an ordinary bird. She is just a bird, but with fiery heat on her tail, which is why she is called the firebird. In this lesson we will draw the Firebird step by step, with a simple pencil.
1. Initial outlines of the firebird
First, draw the approximate general shape of the firebird's body and its legs. Remember, these are just initial outlines, you should not draw the details at this stage completely, you may have to correct them. For the initial contours, you need to draw an oval for the body and triangles for the wings. The bird's tail will consist of a free-form shape, copy it from my drawing. You also need to draw the initial contours of the paws so that you don’t forget to draw them in the future.
2. How to draw the wings of a firebird
At this stage we will begin to draw the wings of the firebird. First you need to outline only the base of the wings. Birds' wings are their arms, and if you look at how a bird's wing is structured, it's easy to tell. Draw the wings like branches on a tree. Next, draw the curved lines of the feathers. Now you can draw the body of the bird, but to do this, erase the preliminary excess contour lines. Draw an eye and a small tuft on the top of the head. There are a lot of small feathers on the bird’s body; they definitely need to be drawn. Try drawing them as if they were scales.
3. How to draw bird feathers
Now you need to draw the feathers of the firebird. To draw a bird you need to carefully draw all the details, so the feathers must be drawn in detail. Let's return to the drawing. Draw the lower contour lines of the wings in a zigzag manner. From the previous bases of the wings, take away the bent long “leaves”. These will be the main feathers of the Firebird.
4. Draw the tail of the firebird
Now you need to draw curved lines to the “leaves” from the previous zigzag. Try to make lines with the same slope, except for the lower lines, which are closer to the body. We'll start drawing the tail in detail a little later, but for now it will look like a snag, divided into three parts. Fill these parts with shapes similar to orchid flowers.
5. Finishing touches to the picture
To completely draw a firebird you need to draw ovals that look like eyes with a dark center in the middle. From these ovals, make strokes that resemble human hair. And then shade it firebird drawing in general and some areas of the wings.
6. Here's what happened
As you can see, drawing a firebird step by step is not difficult. And if you add a little color to the picture, then the firebird will really become like a firebird, with heat on its tail.
