Is that why sailors got tattows? xD
Avoiding becoming long pork is as valid reason as any I suppose hah
serious answer
I think a lot of it was for identification of bodies if they are otherwise disfigured in death :3.. as well as other things like superstition, or marking important achievements ^^
Also they liked to share stuff with the local people, I think getting a tattow was also a big part of that.
I assumed at first it was a typo, but you've done it twice now. What's a tattow?
