American Traditional Swallow

This tattoo features a pair of swallows rendered in the American Traditional style.
Symmetrically placed on the upper chest above each collarbone, the birds are depicted flying toward each other, creating a striking and balanced composition.
Executed in black and grey, the smooth gradation and sharp linework beautifully emphasize the depth and motion of the wings.
Swallows have long symbolized love for home and family, as well as safety, making them a beloved and iconic motif in old-school tattoo culture.
