Pride, vanity and strutting arrogance, those are the qualities we immediately attribute to the handsome Peacock. But its astonishing beauty -- especially its magnificent plumage -- has gained it a symbolic presence in temples, royal gardens, and even at the gates of Paradise, according to one Muslim legend.
In the ancient myths of Egypt, Greece, and Rome, the Peacock feather was a symbol of the ‘evil eye’, and even today the Peacock feather is viewed with suspicion and kept out of the house in some parts of Europe.
In early Christian times, Peacock flesh was believed to be incorruptible. This, together with its eyes symbolizing the all-seeing Church, elevated the Peacock to sacred emblem status, representing resurrection, immortality, and the pure soul.

I'm not exactly sure the answer to this, because I've been trying to find out myself. Well there may in fact be more than one meaning or symbolism behind it. One thing I do know is the peacock was used as an early symbol of the resurrection by Christians in history. Each time the peacock sheds his feathers, the new feathers far surpass the old ones in their beauty.

sometimes pride and vanity, compassion and watchfulness, beauty, dignity, in Christianity symbolism it could be the immortality of the soul. But I think they look amazing, especially the giant pieces, like the ones done in Miami Ink, pretty cool.

one person probably got one and someone else was so intriqued by it/s beauty they decided to get one they are beautiful birds and very colorful so that is probably why next time that you see a person that has one ask them or ask at a tatoo parlor they could probably answer since they are one on one with people that have them
