Ships of the Tattoo World

First up on my list of tattoos are the mystical and very classic ship tattoo. I am not to sure if I will ever be getting one of these tattoos frankly because I am not into the ocean nor have I ever been on the ocean/sea before. On the other hand I would love to work on my ship drawings especially old time wooden ships like pirate ships, this comes from my anime addiction. I have recently been watching One Piece and its about a young boy names Money D. Luffy who's goal is to be the King of the Pirates, he and his small but strong crew travel the rough pirate and marine infested oceans and seas on a very interesting pirate ship. The ship itself is not very detailed like the tattoos you would see on Marines or Sea going people, but it has been enough of an inspiration to make me want to work on my drawings. I have seen pirate ships, battle ships, yachts, and sail boats...I'd have to say that the pirate ships and Haunted ships catch my attention more mainly because I like the darker side of the history of ships. I also want to mention another anime "Soul Eater" where they mention the Black Dragon Nidhogg, I like how they incorporate this Norse dragon into being a haunted demon ship that takes souls of the people it encounters. I also like the story of The Flying Dutchman and many other Haunted ships. Not to forget the pirate ships that are famous through our history like Queen Anne's Revenge which was captained by the famous Blackbeard and the ship of Calico Jack the great The William.
