Swallows Tattoo Tapestries
Description: Swallow. Legend has it that tattoos began when seven sailors from a ship called the Swallow each tattooed a swallow on his chest to mark their mutiny. Tradition, though, generally holds that a swallow tattoo is used measure how far a sailor travels. Originally, a swallow was earned every 5,000 nautical miles.
Description: The Swallows are named after their corporate owners, Yakult Honsha. From 1950 to 1965, the team was owned by the former Japanese National Railways (known as Kokutetsu (国鉄) in Japanese) and called the Kokutetsu Swallows; the team was then owned by the newspaper Sankei Shimbun from 1965 to 1968 and called the Sankei Atoms. Yakult purchased the team in 1970 and renamed it the Yakult Atoms, before renaming it again as the Yakult Swallows in 1974, and then the Tokyo Yakult Swallows in 2006.
Description: Traditional pirate skull tattoo with bandana, eye patch, swallows, and crossed swords: "Dead Men Tell No Tales." Perfect for pirate enthusiasts and sailor tattoo lovers. Features authentic maritime symbolism, nautical elements, and famous pirates' creed.
