40 pheasant tattoos (and what they mean)

Some people get tattoos to represent what they desire. It can be love or health, but also prosperity or wealth. The latter are represented by a very special and responsive animal: the pheasant.

A quick overview of what this bird means in other cultures may allow us to better understand what the pheasant is, and through this image, what the tattoos it influenced symbolize.

The pheasant not only symbolizes wealth and prosperity, but also represents creativity, authenticity, and common sense.

Pheasant origin and symbolism

Originally from China, the pheasant is famous all over the world. In his country of origin, he was associated with deities and nobility, but also with life and solar energy.

The connection between the sun and wealth is clear. Its color and luster are similar to those emitted by gold, the metal mainly personifies wealth. But the sun also represents life, and with it, ingenuity and balance.

In Japan, he is associated with the sun goddess Amateratsu, which strengthens his bond with deities, power and, in general, prosperity and ingenuity.

Balance and prudence

It is said that the rulers must be wise. This belief has been around for thousands of years, especially in Eastern culture. If the pheasant is strongly associated with this wise management, then it is also associated with measure and balance.

This is why pheasants also represent common sense. This is to know the right measure of things, because, as popular culture says, "anything excessive is harmful."

The pheasant, as part of Zen culture, represents balance, fairness, the midpoint needed for a fulfilling and fulfilling life.

Performance and energy

The sun is not only associated with wealth. Productivity and ingenuity are also associated with the sun, with life energy.

A creative and productive person brings light to the world as she is on earth to change it with great effort and commitment. Pheasants are even associated with the Phoenix, and for this reason, like this constantly reborn bird, they also personify creativity.
