Hummingbird Tattoo Meanings - "Hummingbird: A minor character in American Indian folktale and mythology.

Since pre-Conquest times the hummingbird has been considered by many Middle American [Central America] peoples to have supernatural powers. Today it is esteemed by many as a love charm. A dead hummingbird may be worn around the neck in a little bag, to give the wearer the power to attract members of the opposite sex, or it may be dried and a little powder dropped into the drink of the person whose love is desired."

Dr. George M. Foster, in Funk & Wagnalls Standard Dictionary of Folklore Mythology and Legend, (1949)
