She asked me what I want for my birthday, and of course I say "nothin, take me out for lunch and beers" lol. But I got to thinking maybe I can talk her into getting matching tattoos with me. I doubt it though, she's pretty stubborn... But she can come with me for mine at least, then we can do beers after -well me beers and her coffee of course-. I'm thinkin a barn swallow on my neck would look pretty cute, it'll be fun to get just a quickie tat instead of being so heavy minded about them as I usually am. I've wanted a neck tattoo for a while, just wasn't sure what until the welcome infestation of barn swallows we've got this spring. They are so cute, pretty interesting little birds. we have a pair who just hatched a nest full of babies right above the machine that operates our automatic door in the barn. I should take pics!
I did some further researching online and this is what I found, it'll be nice to be able to just go in with a picture in hand and just say "Do this shit, on my neck" lol
I want the bird on the bottom as my first choice of positioning and style. The following pics are 'just in case' back ups, in case the design doesn't work.
I had wings open in mind, but this pic is pretty cute. I doubt the colors will work though. Wont really be able to see it on my skin, although they can do some creative things to saturate the colour and make it more noticeable.
Plan C, lol. His bum looks kinda weird but the position is good.
Found tons of pics of swallows flying and just roosting, hard to find them with their wings just open. I don't like the full flight designs, they look too much like airplanes lol.
Yes, this is the least complicated tattoo I'm getting so far. Geesh!
I need a beer
