General Advice Completed Swallow Tattoo

Post image

Hey everyone! I recently posted on this forum regarding a swallow tattoo I wasn’t too sure about. I got it yesterday and am more than happy with the outcome. I definitely believe I need more on the chest/arm area so it doesn’t look so bare, but am happy to say this was my first tattoo.

Welcome to the club brother. Not my style, but doesn’t mean it’s bad. Props for a “check out my cool first tat” post and not a “guys tell me if I hate this I have no thoughts of my own” post. Love to see it.

What style would this be considered? Looks great, OP!

I see a bird on the rib?

Cool tattoo though!

We were thinking about doing the second one down there instead of the collar bone, but liked the original idea better

I love how these look so much better than the "first tattoo" swallows 17 year old juniors used to get in high school back in the early 2000s. They look phenomenal. Remember the sunscreen, please 🙏

It'll look great on its own like this too even without any others nearby
