This free tattoo design is phoenix, which is a mythical bird that dies in flames and is reborn from the ashes. In China, the phoenix is called Fenghuang, and is the second most-respected legendary creature (second to the dragon), mostly used to represent the empress. The phoenix is the leader of birds. In Japan, the phoenix is called hō-ō(kanji) or fushichō (Immortal Bird).
It is a little bit weird to get a phoenix tattoo on a man though.
