Traditional american swallows mean different things to japanese style birds. It's something to discuss with your tattoo artist.Also, why do you want a bird and what color do you want?I'd suggest googling what colors represent, and also what the bird represents spiritually. There is a man called Ted Andrews who has a book called "Animal Speak" who has written about what different animals mean when they come into your life... this is purely spiritual if you're into that sort of thing.Then you can also discuss this with your tattoo artist and go from there!Parrots are prominently featured in Nautical Tattooing, symbolic as they are of exotic and far-off foreign ports of call. Swallows and Bluebirds are also closely associated with sailors and a life at sea. It is no accident that Johhny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean has a tattooed outline of a swallow on his forearm!With their beaks and feathers -- get a lot of requests for large coverup tattoo projects, particularly full biomech sleeve coverup projects. Each of these requests comes with its own set of challenges, but fortunately in many cases the client has already had a number of laser removal treatments to lighten the old tattoo before proceeding with the new coverup. Although the laser is by no means a perfect removal method- as of now, there is no such thing- it can lighten the offending tattoo enough to allow for far more options with the new piece, plus an overall look that is far less dark and dense than a typical coverup tattoo. This past week I got a chance to finish a full sleeve laser coverup project, and wanted to share it with you. The client had his arm mostly just outlined, plus about half of his forearm filled in from an earlier attempt at covering the unwanted outline... so there was plenty of stuff there to begin with. However,he was diligent about having the piece lightened, and by the time I got to it the arm had been hit almost a dozen times in its darkest parts, providing me with an almost empty canvas.
The laser has its limitations- very dark or thick outlines can be hard to remove entirely, and certain colors- particularly purples and blues- can be especially reluctant to come out. That's where his arm was when we began, with the old outlines lightened as far as they would go and a stain of old turquoise on his inner forearm. With coverup projects, it's really no big deal to absorb old patches of color into the new piece- just a matter of taking those old colors into consideration when executing the new piece. It's a lot harder to cover old outlines, which have direction and purpose and can run counter to the direction the new piece is trying to take. That's why it was so nice to have the old stuff lightened to the extent it was. The remaining bits of pigment, forming a peppery stain over parts of the arm, just served to provide the new piece with an extra degree of texture and character- it's just a matter of working it in. and most of all their wings -- birds have provided the human imagination with signs and symbols that tell the story of the human journey from birth right up until the moment the soul leaves the earthly realm on its flight to the great Beyond.The Egyptian god, Atum, chose a bird to appear at the very moment of creation. This was the stork-like 'Benu'. For the Vikings and Goths, birds of prey were symbols of victorious conquests. Odin and other Norse Gods were often accompanied by Ravens who were seen as particularly wise and clever birds. In North America, both Ravens and Crows are seen as tricksters and shape-shifters among First Nations people. They are birds often associated with Shamans and Medicine Men. Among the Haida of the Pacific Northwest, the people identify themselves as belonging to either the Eagle or the Raven Clan. And for the Haida, Raven was the creator of the world, stealing the sun from where it was hidden in a box and allowing it to shine. Among the peoples of the Iroquoi Federation, there are both Heron and Snipe Clans.The Bible refers to 'the courtesy of the Rooster' for its habit of calling his flock to eat before he takes his turn. And in China, the elegant Crane is considered the bird of happiness. The Swallow, often referred to as the Bluebird, is everywhere a good omen, and its appearance in spring promises hope. For sailors at sea, the swallow was a sure sign that land was close.Birds are more commonly associated with the feminine. In parts of rural Africa, 'Hen' refers to a motherly woman, while 'Dove' is the young girl. In Britain, 'Chick' and 'Bird' are synonyms for girlfriend, while 'old Crow' refers to the nagging old woman. This rule begs to be broken, and 'Vulture' comes to mind, an extremely masculine symbol of the guy who pursues all these girls.Indeed, not all cultures agree on a bird's symbology. The Raven, with its lustrous black feathers, is a sacred bird in many Native American myths. It is both a trickster and a hero. Not in the Bible, however, where this carrion creature is a symbol of evil. To the Arabs, too, the Raven is a bad omen. The English fear that if the Raven flies away from the famous Tower of London, the historical structure will fall. Crow, a cousin to the Raven, is attributed with many symbols ranging from the sublime - an emblem of the Virgin Mary, motherly love and spiritual strength - to bad luck and death. When two crows sit together (in Egypt) they are the emblem of monogamy.
The Owl is a feared night hunter by man and prey alike, and because of its unique ability to fly silently and see and hear well in the dark, the owl has often been associated with all things magical and mysterious. It was thought that the Owl was a confident of Wizards and Witches alike, and as such is featured in many fables, Harry Potter being only the latest!The most revered aspect of the Bird is its ability to fly (apologies to Ostrich, Emu, and Penguin). Throughout the ages, flight is the symbol of the soul's journey to the Hereafter. A bird in flight also stands for the light of the spirit, for beauty, transcendence, and hope.
