If history books are to be believed, Peacock feather tattoos and Eagle feather tattoos were among the most popular feather tattoos that women were seen wearing. Tattoos carry significant spiritual meanings with them and feather tattoos simply symbolize ‘spiritual freedom’ or ‘flight of the mind in the spiritual world.’
