Ex-Sailors of the British Royal Navy have a swallow tattoo on both hands above the thumbs as a symbol of a successful voyage.

*my grandad was in the navy (UK) and he has a swallow on his hand in the soft spot near the thumb. he said it was to show speed of fist in a fight.. he also has an anchor on his forearm.. and that is the heavy hitter..

if u ask me, it means nothing. Tattoos are usually symbols of something. As long as you feel comfortable with the tattoo it shouldn't matter. Remeber though, tattoos are for life unless you want to get it lasered off which gets expensive. It doesn't mean your "gay" if that's what u were asking.
