Flights of fancy

For reasons we needn't go into here, I was searching for images of swallow tattoos.

The most interesting ones (by which I mean ones that weren't scratched on with a razor blade and Biro ink) were on a chap engaged in some, er, specialist activities.

I rather liked the way he had created the illusion of a flock, and he rather put his, er, friends' tattoos into the shade.

Interestingly, he also had a traditional English rose which, again, I rather liked (if being a little more ambivalent about the placing).

The only other chap who came close, aesthetically, was this one:

But he rather spoiled it by gushing on about the emotional symbolism of each bird (crudely they represent his mother, father and sister. FFS).

Nothing else to add, just sharing.
