Pirate tattoos


Recommended Posts

:ph34r: Separating liveaboards into two groups, anchor outs and marina residents, marina residents where there are liveaboards around my neck of the woods tend to be chock a block with artists,writers, an eclectic mix of community. Not really retirement weather here, so we tend to be industrious, not recluse. My helmsman is a writer, wrote 'Band of Brothers', among others. Good things come from marina living. :ph34r:

This is very cool. My sons (who are not big history buffs) and I sat thru this twice. I am actually thinking of plunking down the $80. to buy the dvd set. I've also read the book. I come from a military family, and some of the gentleman referenced, who were actually used in the film, are from my grandfathers generation and from our old Philly neighborhood. If my grandparents were alive, they would probably know them. I may be up in your neck of the woods sometime next year. My son runs and we may be going to the Olympic trials. I would love to see your ship.

Dorian - I much prefer the traditional dark colors. If you do web searches there are Tahitian and Polynesian tattoo samples. There are also books on these. I haven't seen Hawaiian. Post the pics if you can. It is interesting to see what others do. I'm waiting to hear from a female who has actually done this.

Very nice Dorian (I"m pretending the pic posted). If I do it I will be going for a celtic design, in keeping with the Irish ancestry. My sister got a celtic cross on her ankle with some gaelic wording.

Aye Lass,

All are done in either dark blue, cept fer the celtic knot, it has shades o' lighter blue in it... so the rest be blue, black n' dark red....

Doing '1906' next....'Shakin' all over'
What do you mean. You'll be doing research on it?

Dorian - those pics give a good idea. I understand as I'm photographically challenged. The site I used for pics has gone down and I have yet to bother figuring my way around another. I prefer the look of the natural tattoos. Particularly since when I get it done, I will not be getting something large, and won't have alot of space for detailing. And I can't imagine having to go back in and get the colors freshened up.

:ph34r: Dunno if'n I have the right to leak this, but, I'm havin' a lotta bad stuff goin' doen rite now, so I can claim insanity. Warner Bros. next 200 mil biggie, will be about the 1906 earthquake in SanFrancisco, me home, and me mate just landed it yesterday. The Royaliste will have much input as I affect much of his writing. In a new series this fall, on the Sci-Fi channel..(namesake and some persona,'flunked the pee test at NASA,) :ph34r:

:ph34r: RRRRosalinda! Grace; Sort of a raides of the lost ark thing, only a team, and the leader gets 'visions' with which he guides the team. They don't know that part, tho. Computer geek stereotype goes out the window replaced by yours truely, tats and all, biker type, not nerd. :ph34r:

Well...I imagine the moms are just bringing their kids along as an excuse! That's what I would do anyway. Then move in for the kill later...

I just saw this. Yep. I'd say that's what's happening. Kids have always loved pirates. Don't you think it's odd that suddenly ye got lots of young single moms tugging their (or borrowed kids) along to check out the pirate boat?
