Feather tattoo designs are very popular due to their astounding beauty and powerful symbolism. Feathers have always been associated with freedom, weightless, transcendence, and communication with spiritual realms.

Because of their connection to birds, they are a symbol of flight and freedom, not just physically, but also in a spiritual sense. They represent the freedom of your mind and heart and your ability to travel, change and move through life freely.

As a symbol across many cultures, feathers have always represented a connection with spiritual realms and with divinity.

In Native American culture, feathers are an essential part of sacred ceremonies. They play a significant role in many myths and are often used in sacred clothing, as well as in weapons, tools, jewelry, and dreamcatchers. Native Americans consider the feathers to be gifts from the sky and having a connection to the divine.
