1. Love this

2. Awesome video! How does this not have more views?!

3. This was great! Keep it up 🙂

4. I have two swallow tattoos and did not even know what they meant

5. Nice video

6. Nice! More people should know what a sailors tattoos represent. To date I have earned both swallows, golden shellback, golden dragon, hula girl, and penguin (for Antarctic circle crossing). I have only gotten my pig and rooster on my feet done so far but the rest will come in time!

7. vice versa dan

8. as a active navy sailor I'm very much looking forward to getting more of these tattoos in the near future

9. I don’t buy the swallow for 5000 nautical mile theory. One trip across the Pacific will get you more than that. I always heard that since swallows migrate south every winter, and then return in the spring, the swallow tattoos guaranteed a seaman would return home.

10. So, the tatto that jack sparrow has on his arm(the bird) is historically accurate? Thats cool

11. Just found this channel, I love it!

12. Lemme come back in 15 years when i have them all

13. I have swallows for 5k each at sea.
    Shellback turtle for equator
    Pig and rooster on my feet
    Crossed cannons on my forearm

14. This was the extent of your maritime tattoos knowledge then? How disappointing.

15. I love tattooing, but its one of the most challenging things I've ever learned how to do. I could not imagine tattooing on a sailboat on the rocky sea in the 18th century with zero sanitary measures and no understanding of what germs are and how skin infections work. History is mind boggling and fascinating.

16. Really? A ship full of men for months at a time and one of them shows you his swallow tat? What do you think it really means, for crying out loud…

17. Always thought it was funny that people now a days get sailor tattoos but never been on a fucking boat in there life.

18. I was an Ordinary Seaman with the Merchant Navy. Have a dragon coiled around an anchor, on my right shoulderblade. The dragon for travels in South East Asia and the Pacific, the anchor as remembrance of adventures (and a tragedy) in the Atlantic.

19. Great

20. I guarantee there's thousands of hipsters out there with every one of those tattoos that have never stepped foot on a boat

21. so.. would i get a stolen valor for getting these tattooed on me for never having been on a boat?

22. Crossed cannons, means you're a Gunner's mate. One of the original rates in the Navy.

23. Might be a dumb question; but wondering if there’s any other tattoos that symbolized crossing the other oceans? Or what about the Arctic/Antarctic circles??

24. .8

25. Was a sailor in the US Coast Guard for a few years. Some of these traditions are still alive

26. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 a lot of ppl didn’t know tattoos are from the Polynesian culture ✊🏾 Tatau means tattoo 🤙🏽🤙🏽

27. I wonder, does anyone know about any art historians or archivists who made it a point to take pictures of sailors and their tattoos? There's got to be some kind of a collection from the late 1800s or something. I just think it would be really interesting to look at.

28. Rooster and pig are to ward off drowning not shipwrecks

29. Propellers on your ass are for taking you back to shore, and three dots on the outside of your hand is either a mark for someone who missed their ship, or for the christian faith referencing the holy trinity

30. I'll love this channel!, great work!

31. If a ship sank the crates holding chickens and pigs would often be the only thing floating……this is a superstition against drowning.

32. Kinda wanna go on a boat trip now to earn myself two swallows

33. What is the song pls?

34. Your channel is amazing

35. This video is great, just finished the Robin Hood video the other week and it’s crazy how far the quality has improved

36. Holy smokes I watched this years ago when I was getting tattoos lmao how far you’ve come along! Can’t believe this is you
