sparrow tattoo designs

When people get their bodies tattooed, the first question asked is often about their choice of design. While some people are sure of it, others are only certain about parts of it. For example, some people may know that part of the design will contain a sparrow because of a personal connection or meaning behind it. But the remaining design may be far from complete.

Mirrored Sparrows

One sparrow tattoo idea is to have two identical sparrows tattooed on a part of the body, but one of them is reversed, so they become a mirrored reflection of each other. While some people have mirrored sparrow tattoos on their chest, others have them on their stomachs or shoulder blades. The mirrored sparrows is ideal for those who perhaps have lost two important individuals or have two things that are important in life that are symbolized by the mirrored sparrows.

Sparrow with Message

If you know you want a sparrow as the main focus of your tattoo, adding a short message, such as a sentence or a name, can personalize the tattoo. Adding a sentence can help describe the meaning behind the sparrow. Examples include personal triumphs, internal motivation or a tool to stay focused. Others dedicate their tattoos to lost loved ones, such as parents, friends or children.

Artistic Sparrow

An artistic design involving a sparrow can be designed so it does not immediately look like a sparrow, but it becomes apparent after careful study of the tattoo. This is for those who perhaps do not want an obvious bird tattoo, but would like a less direct, more abstract tattoo. You can add colors, shapes and characteristics to the design so it can be personalized to suit the sparrow look you want.

Realistic Sparrow

Bird lovers–or those who prefer a simple, yet detailed tattoo–can go for the realistic sparrow tattoo. Such a design is lifelike, sophisticated and bold. This option is for those who deeply love the sparrow or who may have a personal bond with the creature. While some choose the realistic sparrow due to personal reasons and connections, others simply like the look and sophistication of the creature.
