I got my first tattoo and I absolutely love it! This symbol is packed with meaning for me and this is something that I have been contemplating for about two years now...so I finally did it! I chose a swallow because they are known as a symbol of freedom and over the past 4 years of my life, I feel as though I have slowly but surely come out of the bondages that have kept me from being who I really am. My family is very religious and I am 100% ok with that, but I feel like there are too many rules and regulations in religion. Although I do believe in God and I am still a very spiritual person, I believe Christianity is not something you have to follow a list of man-made (not Biblical) rules in order to be accepted into. I believe in having a PERSONAL relationship with God and studying to show YOURSELF approved. Not following blindly because someone else told you that was the way it's done. THAT is the reason this tattoo means so much to me. No, many people would not approve because their religion dictates that they not get tattoos, but I did to show my own personal freedom from the ideology of religion. I believe in God...not religion.
