15 years ago, I was living abroad and got this tattoo of a swallow on my forearm (shout out Elvin in Singapore for the unique design). I kind of borrowed from the original meaning of the swallow tattoo (see: traditional meaning of swallow tattoos on sailors) and got one of these to commemorate my journey far away from home (NYC to Asia). I had planned on getting a second one on my other forearm once I returned back home to “complete” the journey.

After 10 years in Asia, I finally went back home to NYC in 2015 but never got that second tattoo to commemorate closing the loop. It’s been 8 years since I came back and I’m not sure why I never pulled the trigger on getting it.

Might have to do another lap in order to really know when I've made it back home.
