If you are carefree and love to travel, small bird tattoos are perfect for you. A few years back, bird tattoos are common to sea wanderers, such as sailors and fishermen, especially those who have successfully surpassed several miles on the sea. Another reason is that when a sailor dies, a swallow bird will save his soul by lifting him up to heaven.
Now, bird tattoos have a lot of meanings: freedom, adventure, cheery – these were derived from how birds can do whatever up there. As humans who are not capable of flying, etching a bird tattoo on the skin can certainly provide the same feeling.

Level of Pain and Aftercare Methods for Bird Tattoos
The thought of having a needle digging onto your skin is probably scary, especially if you are a noob. The pain depends on the area you’d choose to have your bird tattoo inked. If you are new, there are several areas where you can have it etched, such as on your thigh or arm. Also, there are OTC creams that will be applied on your skin so as to lessen the pain. Speak to your chosen tattooist in order for you to know what the procedures are. Let him know that it’s your first time so that he can suggest what will work best on you in order for you to have bird tattoos.
Once you have successfully acquired bird tattoos, make sure that you do not touch it without washing your hand. Remember, bacteria can cause infection, which will surely make your new tattoo ugly, and could even risk your wellness. Clean it at least 3 times a day. During the first 3 days, you will be required to apply an antibacterial cream. After that, you’re good to go. Just wait for it to completely heal. By the way, do not take off the scabs because doing so will affect the final outcome.
Don’t forget that you can always get a temporary bird tattoo first before you decide to go for the real birdeal. It’ll give you peace of mind to try out some of the positions of the bird on your body, and test out the shape and size of the bird tattoo you want.
Small Bird Tattoos – You should have it!
If you are still having second thoughts, find someone who has bird tattoos so he can share his stories. You’d probably feel better afterward and will be completely decided to have bird tattoos on your skin. If still unsure, you can check out other tattoos such as an eye or an elephant. Bird and Feather tattoos are also a great combination.
Hey readers! I’m Jeffrey and your tattoo artist of the day;) I have been drawing and painting my whole life, and after graduating high school I decided it was time for a bigger challenge and I started drawing on people. I’m so fortunate I got to express my creativity through my body art and even more so to share my passion with my now wife Emilie. She started working with me in my tattoo shop as a piercer and I started writing about and photographing, my creations on this blog. I love to hear from you and hope you enjoy our work together!
