Crane Tattoo

Also known as the bird of happiness and peace, the crane can represent grace, wisdom, peace and a love of life itself.

Thought to be one of the oldest birds on the planet, to humans the crane symbolizes beauty, longevity and intelligence.  The Japanese crane is probably the most widely recognized with its red crown. Because of its large size and impressive wing span it is often thought of as a protector of those who are vulnerable and transported the dead to paradise.
