Hey, just saw a documentary the other day about sailors and the different kind of tattoos they get.

I'm sure many of you have heard some of the meanings: A sparrow for every 5000 thousand nautical miles traveled, A swallow because it will always find its way home, A nautical star, or compass rose was to always find your way home, etc. I was wondering if there were any old-school fisherman with any tattoos pertaining to fishing/nautical at all. If you do, and are willing, pictures would be awesome.
