the swallow tattoo is a traditional naval tattoo. many sailors would get swallows/sparrows on their chest. one swallow would represent 5000 nautical miles traveled and a second would be 5000 more. they also were known to symbolize the end of a journey. mainly because sparrows were the first sign of land and would let the sailors know they are almost home.
