Swallow and phoenix mashup tattoo
Both the swallow and the phoenix are popular tattoo designs with important meanings, which is what makes this swallow/phoenix combination tattoo so cool. The front end of the colorful tattoo features the head of a swallow, while the back end portrays the iconic tail feathers of a phoenix. At the very tip of each of the three tail feathers, there is a small yellow heart surrounded by a circle. The unique artwork is inked on this person’s left hip, and the colors used in the phoenix tattoo are typical of a phoenix tat, except for the color blue. According to ancient mythology, the phoenix tattoo symbolizes rebirth or new beginnings, and swallow tattoos typically represent travel or returning home.
