I was always told that this was a really painful place to have a tattoo so blokes used to have them done to show how hard they were. Don't know why it was a swallow though

Swallow Tattoos
What is the meaning of tattoos of swallows?
It is classically a nautical symbol for sailors meaning good luck & that they would always find their way back to land.

Every other bloke over the age of 60 has these tattoos so you shouldn't have many problems finding a piccy!

I remember my uncle had one of these on both hands where you describe. He was Scottish but did serve in Malaysia in the 1950's
