This tattoo belongs to a real-deal falconer. Not only is he licensed to fly and hunt with these birds, he manages to catch them from the wild and train them. After a few years he releases them back to the wild. The Peregrine Falcon is one of his favorites, though he falcons with a number of other types of birds as well. He only keeps one bird at a time to give it the proper attention necessary in this craft, as it requires daily attention to attain and maintain the bond that adheres falcon and falconer. Truly a lifestyle that maintains an intimate connection with nature, pretty amazing!
