This is my first. It’s a variation on a traditional English sailor tattoo of a barn swallow. It represents a completed 5,000 nautical mile voyage, and also is a sign of hope for return after a long journey. It’s relevant to me because while I come from Connecticut, I’ve been studying abroad in London (that’s a bit over 5,000 nautical miles roundtrip). It really means a lot to me. :)
