The Meaning of the Sparrow Tattoo
The sparrow is another typical old school tattoo design, but is not as common as the swallow tattoo. The sparrow is one of the few birds known to mate for life, therefore you may have noticed one sparrow tattoo rarely by itself.
Two sparrows usually symbolize eternal love, or lovers who stay together forever. The meaning of the sparrows tattoo in the western world is clearly associated with long lasting love, but can also be found on prisoners during the early 20th century, who have been released from prison and who got a sparrow tattoo to symbolize their freedom.
The sparrow tattoo can also be found in gang culture representing a similar meaning. However, the most common meaning of the sparrows tattoo design today is everlasting love. See also Swallow Tattoo Meaning – birds – hummingbirds
