The swallow carries a lot of symbolism for such a small bird. Sailors once wore swallow tattoos as a sign of miles travelled and a safe return, and the bird's habit of coming back to the same nest each spring has made it a symbol of homecoming ever since.
This drawing keeps the features that mark it out: broad, upswept wings, a short pointed head, a slim body and the long, deeply forked tail that trails behind it like two thin streamers. The wing edges are softly feathered, and there is no inner detail, so the whole shape holds together as one clean silhouette.
The two birds mirror one another, one facing left and one right, so they look as if they are swooping in from opposite sides. Put them above a doorway, on either side of a window, on a pair of tank sides or across a bedroom wall. The pairing also suits tattoo-inspired decor and gifts for people who are close to home.
