Eagles have always been thought to be brave, clever, efficient, and sharp. To modern cultures they represent liberty, freedom, and strength.

It makes sense that people who are aware of the associated ideas and beliefs, and who need a tattoo, would obviously opt for this design. It's an all around classical style.
