Our guest blogger, Jan ”Nippe” Karlsson, had a very nice picture of a swan from Skurusundet in Nacka, Sweden. As he mentions there, the swan is a mighty bird - one of the largest flying birds in the world – but at the same time very gracious. It is a beautiful and strong bird and he suggested that I could design a tattoo of one. Maybe this could also be a symbol for the swan in flight.
This illustration of the two swans might also give you an association to a more romantic symbol – since they are a couple flying in the same direction. So as a tattoo it could symbolise you and your better half. There are several different kinds of swans – even black ones. In this case, I chose the white swans. In a tattoo it would be nice together with shading of feathers and shadows against the white in the swan. I have enhanced the outline so the contour of the bird / birds give an extra feeling of strength. The wing-tips are also made a bit larger than usual to show the width and span of the birds’ wings.
Maybe you are searching for the perfect symbol for you and your spouse. This symbol could perhaps be the one for you!
