    Joseph Seed bird tattoo

    So this may be a little odd question. But I think that there would be some people who might help.

    Since i've played FC5 and seen joseph seed's tats i really got obsessed with one of them. As the title says the tattoo that has caught my interest is the bird tattoo on his chest.
    I think it's really beautfiul and was considering to get it myself. But i need a design of some sort. My question is: Does anyone know how to get my hands on a design or should i do my best to recreate it.

    Thanks in advance!

    Umm those birds looked like american traditional so you should be able to walk into like pretty much any studio and pick a design off the wall
    Just screenshot if you really want his color scheme

    They could just as easily (perhaps even more so IMO) be swallows with those long tail streamers. Sparrows and swallows are commonly confused with one another.

    When it comes to tattoos, swallows have roots in nautical history/meaning. .....but now, who knows as so many folks get tattoos these days. I think some of these things have simply lost their impact / meaning over time.

    That could be also.The color design just but unique.And agree with the rest, everything these days is just a head-scratcher.

    So I'm about 100% positive those are swallows that come from traditional sailing. It uses to be that you'd be allowed to get a swallow of you've sailed 5000nm. This continued into the modern era with navies and the merchant marines. It still does to this day with tall ship sailors. However it's not as prevalent as it used to be with the navy or merchant marine as some of the long standing traditions start going by the wayside. there's a whole list of tattoos that you can get for different sailing things you do.

    The reason I'm so certain is well I've sailed on tallship for years and have friends with the same one, down to the colouring.

    Whether or not Joseph creed sailed in is day or they just thought it looked cool, I don't know. I'd love to get to talk to the person that designed his character. Because it's a pretty specific tattoo.
