I heard that if I sailor lost a good mate at sea he would put a dagger through his swallow tattoo to symbolize his lost friend. My grandfather told me this and showed me a picture of his sailer friend. He had 2 swallows on his chest and one had a dagger through it. My grandpa then told me about thow he had lost his brother (a sailor too)at sea.
you lost a loved one ?
There is no particular symbol per say in tattoo form for losing a loved one. However, it is more of a personal and individual thing that one does that means something to them to remember their lost loved one. You could make your own, have one custom made, or use ones that may be on the display. It could be as simple as the lost loved ones name. It really is an individual choice that is also very personal and something you could live with for the rest of your life.
I was thinking about getting a Penguin Tattoo to symbolize parenthood. I recently watched an episode of Discovery's "Planet Earth", and there was a segment on Penguin's and how they care for their young through the harsh winter. I found it inspiring.
That you like the tattoo. Most true meanings of tattoos have been lost over the years and it's all about expressing yourself now.
Any tattoo on any person's body has it's own unique meaning, even if in some remote way, to that individual. A catfish tattoo could be dedicated to a family member that loved fishing, or it could be in memory of the good old days with a long lost friend. It's really hard to put a finger on exactly what a tattoo means. It really would be impossible to say what exactly this catfish tattoo means without asking the person with the ink.

You want to be careful of your new tattoo. If part of the scab comes off so will the bit of tattoo that the scab is over. I had this happen and lost a line on my dragon wing. I would call the shop where you had it done. They have creams and other items to help you preserve your tattoo.
Depends entirely on WHERE you are lost. Being lost in a jungle would offer very different options from being lost along a coast line.

"The little lost boy" typically refers to a child who has become separated from his caregivers or home. This phrase can also symbolize feelings of confusion, vulnerability, or being directionless in life.
Confusion
Yes, he has a tatoo that says "I'm lost..."It says: "I'm lost..."
A bleeding heart: A tear with a heart and a tear drop beneath, at least the tattoo artist told me that.
