swallow tattoos each represent 5000 nautical miles travelled at sea.

"Another legend holds that since swallows return to the same location every year to mate and nest, the swallow will guarantee the sailor returns home safely. A sailor would have one swallow tattooed before setting out on a journey, and the second swallow tattooed at the end of their tour of duty, upon return to their home port." "It is also said that if the sailor drowns, the swallows will carry his soul to heaven." More at - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swallow_tattoo

In Australia, scarring was practised widely, but is now restricted almost entirely to parts of Arnhem Land. Scarring is like a language inscribed on the body, where each deliberately placed scar tells a story of pain, endurance, identity, status, beauty, courage, sorrow or grief.

Traditionally in Indigenous Australian culture, scarification was a signifier of a person's place in the community and an expression of identity, experience and beauty — almost a non-verbal language carved right onto the skin. "Once you became initiated, you'd get a scarring done, so that when you're out in the world people would know that you had gone through lore," Torres explains. Torres is an educator in the Broome Regional Aboriginal Medical Service (BRAMS), where he counsels prisoners to quit smoking. Source: www.abc.net.au/news/2018-05-13/michael-jalaru-torres-expl...
