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.
