A tattoo with this meaning could indicate that you are looking out for your loved ones, or your future and that you are always on the lookout for new opportunities.
Quails are often found in pair, which may symbolize friendship, love or commitment.
If you want to get a tattoo with the silhouette of this bird for these reasons make sure you go to a talented artist who can do this image justice. It has to be not only the outline but also the quails feathers and details that make it look realistic.
This can all be done by hand, but there are always risks involved because many people have allergies to different chemicals used for coloring processes.

Quails mate for life and so the image of these birds could signify true love. They rarely cheat on each other, and if they do find a new partner it will be one that their soulmate approves of!
If you’re looking to get this tattoo in order to symbolize your own commitment then make sure you pick an image which looks like its part of the same family rather than 2 separate ones. Otherwise it might just look like you’re actually saying “I’m single”.
The main difficulty with quail tattoos is how difficult it is to see them in real life. So many people have never seen a quail before! These images are mostly used as filler tattoos or water color tattoos which help create depth within various designs. If you’d like one of these symbols to be a part of your entire body- or face tattoo, then make sure it fits the theme and style well. Otherwise it may look out of place!
