Sailor drawings are the star of tattoos old school, also known as traditional.
We have already spoken at length about the sailor tattoos, but today we want to give you a lot of ideas to get some unique drawings and that at the same time stick with this style.
Ship stuff
On the ships you have a lot of ideas to inspire you for your next piece of traditional style, for example, ropes, rudders, compasses, captain's caps, spyglasses, cannons, pirate flags ... There are many that have their own marine meaning, so you better find out before deciding on one object or another.
Mullets and other sea animals
In the sea we can find many marine animals (fish, sharks, dolphins, whales, seagulls, sea urchins, octopuses ...). Nevertheless, Other animals that at first glance do not seem to belong to the world of waters, such as roosters or pigs, are also common in the sailor's imagination..
Human constructions
Human constructions in the sea (or on the coast) are also a great source of inspiration for our next design. Among the best known and most precious, you can find boats of all kinds (from a brand new brig to a discreet longboat), lighthouses, oil rigs, submarines ...
Legendary beings
Finally, In the sea we will not only find boats, dolphins and lighthouses, but it is also full of legendary beings (Not for nothing is a place still so unknown). Among those that you can get inspired for a tattoo with sailor drawings, the magnificent kraken; Neptune or Poseidon, the king of the seas according to ancient Greece and Rome; mermaids that attract sailors with their songs ... the list is almost endless!
