Billy Longblades Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 Ev'ry good pyrate needs some ink on his flesh, do ye be wearin any? I've just this one fer now: http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b129/blu...mgAnch=imgAnch1 It has since been colored, but i'll have to get some updated pics. I also want to get the traditional pyrate "Rats and Barrels" on me foot. The story goes that pyrates would get this tattooed on their feet for good luck because when a ship went down, the only things left afloat were rats and barrels........
Silkie McDonough Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 I would think it would serve one better to get the rat's and barrels tatoo on ones scalp thus keeping ones head above water rather than ones feet!
the Royaliste Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 Angus posted this one 'o mine a couple 'o three years back: ROYALISTE Off the Maryland Coast, Southbound.........
Billy Longblades Posted October 20, 2006 Author Posted October 20, 2006 silkie: i said the same thing to the man who told me the story!! royaliste: very nice!! i hope to have an entire sleeve dedicated to pyrates one day as well.

Red Cat Jenny Posted October 20, 2006 Posted October 20, 2006 Funny ye should ask..I was considerin a post called "show us yer tats!' (tAts that is ) I doesn't have one yet but I want a pirate barque about th size of a silver dollar to show off! Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont? A delicious rip in time...
scurvey kate Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 i have a full back piece that's almost done. it's a huge pirate ship with banners that say "take what you can" and "give nothing back". i'll try to find a pic of it.
Billy Longblades Posted October 21, 2006 Author Posted October 21, 2006 here be a pic with color: http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b129/blu...mgAnch=imgAnch1 my fiance has it's twin, except hers looks more like sunrise than sunset: http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b129/blu...mgAnch=imgAnch1
Capn_Enigma Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 Well, here's my ink: Some people may know its original form: "The floggings will continue until morale improves!"
Silkie McDonough Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 here be a pic with color I took a look at all of your tatoo shots and I must say ...I like the ship WITHOUT the color. I think IF I EVER decide that I want a ship I may go with a sepia tone line drawing. Thank you.
Billy Longblades Posted October 21, 2006 Author Posted October 21, 2006 i think i may have liked it more without the color as well, but i don't dislike it with the color.
Rumba Rue Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 Well I liked the color. I think it's beautiful! *Nope I don't have any tats and won't be getting any either.
Billy Longblades Posted October 21, 2006 Author Posted October 21, 2006 Well I liked the color. I think it's beautiful!*Nope I don't have any tats and won't be getting any either. thank ye!! i know it looks a bit out of place by itself, but it be the beginning of an entire sleeve, or at least half sleeve.
Capn_Enigma Posted October 21, 2006 Posted October 21, 2006 *Nope I don't have any tats and won't be getting any either. That's too bad. But then again... we can't be all different! "The floggings will continue until morale improves!"
Crowsnest Kate Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 I don't have any tats either but I'm not against them either. I am thinking of having eyeliner tatoo'd on though. Not really pyrat like but its the only ink I would really want to have.
Patrick Hand Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 I don't have any Pyrate tatoos..... I do have 4 non-pyrate tatoos tho........ But I want to figure out how to make a dye filled pen. I wouldn't want to have a Real tatooed skull on the back of my hand..... but to have one dyed on might be kinda fun.... Just using a felt pen dosen't have the same color as any of my real tatoos.... Hey tatoos are unlike love......are forever. Maybe playing with a dyed fake tatoo long enough.... I might go with a real one..... but I do kinda dought it........
hurricane Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 I considered it for many a year, but it's not suitable to my time frame of piracy.

TheBlackFox Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 My only ink be Pyrate ink. The character of our ship, The Polly Dodger. The motto translates from the Latin as "Don't shyte on Me" (dodging one's Polly is serious)
CrazyCholeBlack Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Mr. Hand I believe that what ye might be needing is the products from Temptu. I've used their body paint to create very realistic temporary tattoos. The paint can also be run through a standard airbrush for more interesting effects. http://www.temptu.com/ My actual tattoos are all self designed geometic mandalas. Not pirate but I *love* them.

Patrick Hand Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Mr. Hand I believe that what ye might be needing is the products from Temptu. I don't know if that is the company that sells tatoo pens or not..... but I didn't like the color of the ink from the ones I saw.... maybe they(Temptu) DO have better ones... so a link would be very helpfull.... I'm looking at my real tatoos....(th' ol' needle wrapped with thread and india ink) and trying to get the color right..... I think a mix of indigo and a little black might be right.... but got a lot of playing with it to get the right shade.... and something that kinda soaks into the skin so the ink dosen't just lay on the surface..... Like I typed... tatoos ARE forever.... I don't think I want a skull on the back of my hand..... well just not yet..... So I will keep playing with a good temporary solution.......
Silkie McDonough Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 I just need something that will last weekends and will come off easily when I need to go into the office. I work for a bank, they don't like visable body art.
oderlesseye Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 THe more Eye think about it THe more I wanna go the way of a seamans tat rather than the raging skull/dark death/Blah runn of the mill... I think I want a pellican on a pier piling. I call em Irving! http://www.myspace.com/oderlesseyehttp://www.facebook....esseye?ref=nameHangin at Execution dock awaits.

Ransom Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 I wear ink, but it's not piratical. Just above my left ankle. A symbol that means something special to me. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...
