DESCRIPTION AND MEANING:

This phoenix is a variant on a previous design, requested by Nicola to be adapted for the upper back.

The phoenix was born as a sun symbol, and as such it represents eternity and the cyclicity of life.

More recently it got associated to the idea of transformation and overcoming a trauma or bad period (represented by fire), symbolizing thus a rebirth.
