Or I could bring her with me to make billy bear sandwiches on the way to save time. She could also fight off the nasty men in Shoreditch.

i thought the swallow meant nautical miles traveled at sea, but more recently use to indicate you have been in prison, done your bird.

From google: we're both right lol 

Today, the symbol of the swallow can mean many different things. It is considered a staple of the "British Traditional" and "Sailor Jerry Collins" style tattooing.

Ex-Sailors of the British Royal Navy have a swallow tattoo on both wrists as a symbol of a successful voyage.

Another coined term in the UK for the swallow tattoo on the hands is a symbolism of a prison sentence from an ex-con to the meaning of "done your bird, done your time".

Finally, a swallow tattoo on the back of the hand can mean "this fist flies", worn by Glasgow and London 'Hard Men' to signify prowess in street fighting.

I never knew that!

ahh i see i see.. 


I have two swallows on my arm ,  for no reason other than i like that style,  


In some cultures, the first swallow of spring is a very fortunate sight because it is an omen of financial success. To ensure wealth through the year, one must rub two coins together while watching the bird.
A tattoo of 2 swallows represents freedom. It is a popular tattoo design amongst people who are just released from prison.
A swallow tattoo on the fists does symbolize that the person who wears it is a good fighter (in the UK). The tattoo is supposed to give you fast hands in a fight.
Sometimes a swallow can also be seen in gang tattoos.
Swallow tattoos, as wells as bluebird and sparrow tattoos (jailbirds), are also a symbol of white supremacy for some people.

Jaysus I lead a sheltered life...

The print looks immense.

Can't wait to see it in the flesh.

EINE - TENDERLOIN A-Z LONDON EVENT

On a rainy afternoon last week we headed over to Hoxton Station and found ourselves down a quiet back street outside a disused warehouse on Gorsuch Street. We have been down this street many's a time before over the years, as this back street was a popular spot for street artists to hit before the council took to buffing the walls on a regular basis. But on this occasion we were here to catch up with Ben Eine who is back in the UK and was busy at work inside this amazing warehouse space spraying up walls ahead of his one night only Tenderloin A-Z Exhibition with East London gallery Nelly Duff.

Now based in San Francisco, Eine has returned to collaborate once again with Nelly Duff for the release of an impressive 52 colour screen printed edition ‘Tenderloin’ A-Z, which takes its name from an area of San Francisco. The edition has been released in four variants, some of which went on sale online earlier this month: Tenderloin A-Z Stone / Tenderloin A-Z Pink Diamond / Tenderloin A-Z Blue Diamond /Tenderloin A-Z Blue Black. The remainder of the editions will go on sale at the warehouse event Nelly Duff are hosting with Eine on Wednesday 18th September. Alongside the four variants of the Tenderloin A-Z prints, Nelly Duff will also be showcasing the complex processes that went into making this 52 colour edition.

The event will also mark the launch of new publication from Aurum Press, The World Atlas of Street Art and Graffitiby Dr.Rafael Schacter, co-curator of the Tate Modern's renowned 'Street Art' exhibition. EINE is one of the featured street artists in this new reference book, documenting the worldwide geography of the Street Art genre. The World Atlas of Street Art & Graffiti will be available to purchase on the night and EINE has custom sprayed 10 World Atlas of Street Art & Graffiti book covers with the letter 'A', available randomly with the purchase of the book on the night!

[Martin DK]

Nice book!

[Ruggs]

Also it would appear that the remainder of the editions will be sold at this event, hence why its not sold out on Nelly Duff's website.

[pada1]

Beautiful book cover.
Can't wait to have my first Eine in hand. I have the feeling that his style with the screenprint method is the best match i will have seen so far.
