Blue and Red Swallows

Blue & Red Swallow Temporary Tattoo

Popular traditional swallows design now made into realistic temporary tattoo.

Swallow tattoo was a symbol used historically by sailors to show off their sailing experience.

According to the legend, a sailor with swallow tattoo had traveled over 5,000 nautical miles (9,260 km). Traveling such a great distances was extremely hard and dangerous in the early days of sailing, so one or more swallow tattoos denoted a seasoned and valuable sailor.

Another legend holds that since swallows return to the same location every year to mate and nest, the swallow will guarantee the sailor returns home safely.

It is also said that if the sailor drowns, the swallows will carry their soul to heaven.
