Mama and Baby Hummingbirds
When it comes to mother and child tattoos, birds are probably the most widely used animals. There are several reasons for this, which include their versatile meaning (peace, independence), as well as nothing being able to hold a bird back from flying.
We’re not well-trained in understanding hummingbird behavior, but we do know that hummingbird moms protect their hummingbird babies with everything they got. To us, this tattoo shows a mother hummingbird teaching her baby the ropes. In a couple of decades, the baby hummingbird will be ready to fly solo. What a beautiful yet saddening thought.
