The nautical star is a very old modern tattoo, going back at least a century or more. Back in the days of yore, before modern navigation, sailors would navigate in part by the stars in the night skies, in particular the North Star in the Northern Hemisphere, and various other constellations of stars in the night sky. It took me a few years to get to a place where I needed the very tattoo I had been waiting to get…

So I happened to be looking over recent twitter followers when I wanted to see what my dad has been up to on “the twitters.” So i headed over to check out@twrofpwr to read up. And ‘lo and behold… I think this was meant for me.

Thanks to Inka Dinka Doo and Big Bill. The next step… smoke. Plus, a side of bacon.

First done several years ago, getting this tattoo finished was important to me. But not necessarily important enough financially. Making sure Camden has food was always first.
