Body art is like marmite. You either love it or hate it. Certainly used to be the case that the upper echelons of society would look down their noses at anyone sporting even the slightest bit of ink on their plate.

Thankfully tattoos are much more socially acceptable these days. Even if they weren’t if you are from the wrong side of the tracks would you really give a hoot? Now we have some exciting pirate tattoo designs to share with you.

Expressive Tattoos the Pirate Way

Personally I think body art is a great way to express oneself if you are savvy enough to cover up when needed. Thankfully also the days are long gone when tattoo designs were limited to just a few ideas. Today there are many tattoo shops and body art clinics as well as individual artists that cater for bespoke highly original and expressive tattoo designs.
