the bird

this was the "hummingbird" from my dream. It's a Resplendent Quetzal, a native Costa Rican bird that is, according to legend, not a bird but a divine being.

:D

Those were my favorite birds to draw out of a bird drawing book I had as a child. They're so beautiful. :)

Now I want another tattoo...

I know, right? That bird can lead me around in my dreams any time ;)

lol that was my first reaction: "hey, that'd make a great tattoo..."

[aerialmelodies.livejournal.com]

It would! I never knew the symbolism, but that just adds to the intrigue of an already beautiful creature. I can envision it as a wrap around, the bird flying up the back with the tail wrapping around the waist/hip and coming down a little onto the front of the body. Like a protector. :)

ESP, we has it. XD

It is absolutely beautiful...

I googled it and found some really stunning tattoos on the back, under the shoulder, very graceful and linear...

I like the line on this one (http://lh6.ggpht.com/_w1MM4TRwNf4/R3QVu-Aq4XI/AAAAAAAAByI/kvF4xwPtNUo/DSCN3519.JPG), but I like the colors and the realism of this one. (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2345/2263526542_e323cc8281.jpg?v=0)

I love that second one! My boyfriend is shaking his head as I ponder going back under the needle... :D I think it would make a wonderful tattoo when you finally go in to get one! :)
