Birds will forever be better than men because they can fly, well except for some flightless birds that is. The fact that flying is usually related to freedom makes birds, especially those that can fly, great subjects for inks or tattoos. It is therefore not surprising to see countless bird tattoos in different style. Below are just a "few" of them.
