This is my new tattoo. I had been thinking about getting a swallow tattoo for years, but I never found the right artist or the right spot. I got it done by Jota, at the Siha Tattoo Studio in Barcelona, Spain.
When my mom was a kid she was poor and every winter they were afraid they would die. Every time they saw a swallow that meant they survived for another winter and spring was coming. I love the old school tattoo style and I always wanted to get a swallow, but the old school american tattoos with swallows often look asymmetrical and without any proportion so I got a neo traditional one instead.
The watch is about my dad’s passion and job. If you check closer you’ll see actual needles because my granny was a tailor. The ink means knowledge.
PS: That is my upper leg!
