Gay sailor tattoos (original)

Original work. Researched and hand drawn in ink on archival cream paper. 16 x 20. Arrives in a modern black frame.

I am obsessed with gay sailors, and sailor ink. I loved researching and updating this classic illustration by giving it a queer spin.

I want to give a shoutout to the brilliant zine:”Gay Sailor Tattoos” by R.J. Gillis. I included a description of the zine and encourage you to pick one up for download.
