Lochlan Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 For me I see a picture of a tattoo or a tattooer doing a tattoo of a certain image and sometimes they just stick with me. I almost get obsessed in looking at variations of that one image and love seeing peoples takes on them. So lately I have been looking at, watching, and searching for ship or boat tattoos. I tend to enjoy ones that stick close to traditional tattoos but enjoy many of the variations. So here are some recent ones that I have been enjoying and wishing the quality of the pictures for some were better so I could really gaze at them. Lets see your ship or boat tattoos and/or those that you enjoy looking at as well....

kylegrey Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Greg Irons ships are some of the best in my opinion .Although this beautifully simple piece by Tokyo Hiro may just take the cake for me .

RoryQ Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 @Juan Pardo Cool. Your post made me google Samuele Briganti ship tattoos ... Really nice stuff also, he does appear to tattoo a lot of ships!

Jennifer Stell Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Photo by stelltattooart • Instagram This was on a dear friend, who wanted to take what was on her back, and get rid of a few things... but mainly she wanted a ship.... She sits so good... Covered three stars on her shoulders with the eagle, and making the butterfly into a jollyroger... It's a work in progress but coming along nicely. hogg, TrixieFaux, Lochlan and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/820-ship-tattoo-designs/#findComment-50596 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Although I don't have a ship tattoo (yet), it's definitely in the future plans. I go back and forth between preferring black and grey or color with the ship tattoos, I've seen some great examples of both. I kind of like the black and grey stormy ship scenes which probably aren't true traditional.

David Flores Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Bill Loika is one of the best - Those are great. Tattooer at the shop just got back from Amsterdam and was able to get a walk in tattoo from Bill Loika, he got a Mister Lucky smoking a joint. - - - Updated - - - Although I don't have a ship tattoo (yet), it's definitely in the future plans.

I think the ships look better with color, but I think you could do some cool things in black in gray. I kind of like the stipple shaded black and grey look that people like Mike Adams are doing, gives traditional tattoos a rough tough black and gray look.
