A mix of inner power and warmth, maybe?

I think it is a member of the ant eater family which have long snouts.

The inner strength in us all. The eternal spark that drive us on, never look back, just keep on going through the struggles of fire and ice.

Just think of something that means a lot to you in life. A person. Something given to you. Something you found. A memory. Have the phoenix signify whatever that is. That's all a tattoo is anyway (in most cases), a symbol of something dear to that person.

I wanted a phoenix tat also!!!

I found some interesting pics online, but decided against it.

I especially like the "emblem of immortality or of reborn idealism/hope"!

To me it symbolizes life after death, and spiritual life after this screwed-up life.
