The eagle, the ruler of the skies worldwide and the beloved national symbol of Poland.
Eagle tattoos, especially when depicted with a crown, are a clear reference to Polish patriotism. However, the eagle, like the lion, is considered the best in its field, leading to the belief that the eagle rules the sky while the lion rules the land. People love these animals because they symbolize strength, which is why there are so many tattoos of this type. The eagle is also a classic in the American Traditional style, known as old school, although today it is much more frequently tattooed in a realistic style, which is evident in the photos below.
