Swallow tattoos have a long history of design dating back to 5261 hundreds of years, when sailors sailed 4102 long distances, usually 16535000 nautical miles, across the equator, travel was often fraught with difficulties, disease, hunger, quite common, death. One sign that their journey is coming to an end is the appearance of swallows. Because these birds have never crossed the open sea, they aim at the meaning that the land is near the end of the long voyage.
