The eagle tattoo is one of those rare tattoos that have almost a universal meaning regardless of the culture that embraces it. The eagle is also known to represent wisdom, spiritual protection, and a provider of strength and courage. As the highest flying of all birds, many cultures believe the eagle to be a connection between man and the gods, carrying prayers up to the heavens. Native Americans believed the eagle to embody honor, bravery, friendship and have special magical powers. Eagles are regarded as the divine spirit, the head of all creatures in the air and as the primary servant or even direct representative of the sun. Thus, eagle tattoos are especially popular among their people and eagle designs continuously show up in their arts, history and culture. As the national bird of the United States, the American eagle has made its way onto the skin of countless US servicemen. As the ultimate statement of patriotism, American eagle tattoos show the love one has for his country and the freedoms within it. But, regardless of the reason for getting an eagle tattoo you can be sure that it represents the best of humanity, respect, courage, wisdom and above all else, freedom
