The swallow was drawn by Dorothy Hayward who was one of the most prominent female artists in the uk during the 60s and came out of retirement and started drawing again a few months ago aged 78. It’s known as a ‘Blackpool Swallow’ and was her signature piece, always black and red, always long tail feathers. Lal is tattooing her work on her behalf at the moment but she’s planning to dust off her machines and start poking again after Covid has eased up.
There’s a short article about her on @scottishtattoohistory on insta.
