I know Swallow's are a very cliche tattoo, however when i read about the historical and symbolic meanings behind them, i instantly fell in love with the idea. Sailors in WWII got swallows tattooed as a symbol of achieveing travelling a certain amount of miles. However, they also believed when they died at sea, the bird will take their souls to heaven. Therefore i got mine done as a symbol of my faith and religious beliefs. Swallows are also commonly recognised to represent loyalty and fidelity.
