Two sparrows are generally tattooed opposite each other, say on the sides of the chest in a traditional way....You may also see it in new school forms done like this..
In ancient times the goddess Aphrodite was thought of as her chariot being pulled by sparrows....As she is the goddess of love and agriculture to the ancient greeks, they were also connected to 'LOVE'. And like their cousins the lovebirds they are prone to marry for life.....Hope this helps...tatuBaron
when a sailor sees a sparrow he knows he is close to land. When they are tattooed on the chest up near the shoulders they signify that a sailor has sailed over 5000 nautical miles.
