The symbolism of birds is almost as varied as there are species. To some they represent freedom, hope, new beginnings. To others they infer grace, love, strength, longevity, eternity, happiness, love, and more. Whatever they mean to you must be powerful enough that you want it commemorated with a tattoo. Moreover, you want it done in a realistic manner. However, you’re not exactly sure what you want as far as the design is concerned. While we’ve covered where to get a bird tattoo, we have yet to share designs that may inspire your own. Let’s have a look at some amazing realism work completed by Adrenaline Studios own Tony T, who among other things, specializes in tattoo concepts of the avian variety.
Examples of Realistic Bird Tattoo Designs Done at Adrenaline Studios in Vancouver BC
Townsend’s Warblers
The Townsend’s Warblers nest and forage high in the forest trees, which makes them elusive to casual spotters and birds watchers alike. If you have an air of mystery about you, the Townsend’s Warbler may be good match. Their defined yellow and black color also makes them ideal for Pittsburgh Steelers fans. The bird in the featured image (above) is another one of Tony T’s Warbler creations.

Blue Jays
This is a favorite bird tattoo design idea for the staff at our Queen Street West studio for obvious reasons, but even if you’re not a Toronto Blue Jays fan it impossible to argue against the aesthetic appeal of this cobalt toned feathered friend:

Don’t Be Such a Chicken (actually, go ahead)
Sparrows, crows, eagles, owls, hawks, blue jays, warblers, and the like may get the most attention from tattoo artists and the tattooed, but why not consider a species that rarely ever makes the cut – a chicken! We guarantee it will get a smile from all who look upon it.
