Bluebirds symbolize happiness, so it’s obvious why many people choose to get this bird inked on their body. This type of tattoo dates back to the days of men sailing the seas, when they would spend months away from their families and homes. A bluebird inked on these men held a dual purpose – to represent the happiness of home, as well as to guide them back – the bluebird was said to help a sailor find his way home. In the 20th century, Sailor Jerry helped to re-popularize this type of tattoo.
