I didn’t know that early sailor’s tattoos were so richly decorated. Interesting. Do you know roughly when it dates from? Reply
And the main tattoo on the upper arm looks very well done – like a classical illustration from the 1800s. And that portrait image on the back of the hand – maybe his wife or mother? Reply
Wow, very interesting. He is very trendy…:) well back then he was probably not, but for today…he is, What a face! Peta Reply
That’s actually a much more artistic tattoo than I thought were available back whenever. Interesting! Reply
There’s some really cool old-school stuff. I’ve got an old-school inspired sailor in memory of my dad on my footblade. Reply

Good question Mr Bennett. This photo is from between 1940-45.

I think that’s some naval stuff on his hand.
Not a fan of tattoos but I like sailors 😀 How have you been, Max?
I like tattoos more than sailors. 😀
