I personally like the ham and eggs meaning! The pig and the rooster are tattooed on either the calves or the top of the feet, to prevent a sailor from drowning. These animals were originally carried on most ships in wooden crates. When a ship goes down these crates would float and then catch currents and wash ashore with the other debris from the ship, making the pigs and roosters often the only souls to survive a shipwreck. Some other interpretation of the pig and rooster tattoo is: · A tattoo of a pig on the left knee and a rooster (cock) on the right foot signified Pig on the knee, safety at sea. A cock on the right, never lose a fight. · Tattoos of pigs and chickens were to make sure they always had their ham and eggs so that they never go hungry.
