Swallow holding banner tattoo on girl’s shoulder

The back of the shoulder is a great place for personal tats like this girl’s swallow tattoo. The bird tattoo in this photo features a swallow in flight, carrying a banner that reads “Pelon” in small letters and then “Have Faith” in large capital letters. The swallow in the shoulder tattoo is inked in very light blue and red colors, which helps it stand out against her skin but doesn’t make the inking too loud or conspicuous. The meaning of a swallow tattoo traditionally represents returning home, freedom, true love or loyalty, and this swallow tattoo for girls appears to be directed towards a particular person. It’s possible that this girl lost a loved one and got this swallow tattoo inked on her shoulder in their honor.
