My dad was a communications engineer in the Navy. The swallow is a traditional sailor tattoo, swallows return to the same location every year to mate and nest, the swallow will guarantee the sailor returns home safely. A sailor would have one swallow tattooed before setting out on a journey, and the second swallow tattooed at the end of their tour of duty, upon return to their home port. It is also said that if the sailor drowns, the swallows will carry their soul to heaven. I have 2 tattooed on me, while I didn't sail anywhere I had a CRAZY weird life for about 6 years so it's meaning is a tribute to my dad and also my journey in life. I had a swallow tattooed before things got weird and got the second when I came out the other end of it all.
wow! my dad was a comm engineer too! Was your dad ever on Adak, Alaska or at Misawa? My pops was also an instructor at Cory at P'cola..be cool if they knew each other?
