Here it is!Sailor!John from holmesianpose‘s story Other Fathoms Deep, with his tattoos! And his scar! I forgot the scar on the first picture! shame on me!So, we’ve got a anchor/caduceus (anchors tells that a sailor has been a part of the Merchant Marine and is the perfect representation of stability, and the caduceus, well, John wanted to be a doctor, so…^^), a Nautical Star, given so that a sailor could always find his or her way home, and some ropes around the wrists, suggests a sailor is or was a deckhandAt first, I wanted to draw thisCrossed Cannons signify naval military service. as was John before he was wounded (of course^^) and a Swallow, who goes to a sailor for every 5,000 nautical miles they travel, and it means a sailor can always find its way home. But finally, I like the simpliest version I made on his back. Maybe he’s got the swallow and the crossed cannons on another body part^^ (Swallows were generally on the chest, by the way^^)And yes, conversationswithbenedict, I totally think he must have a Sherlock related tattoo on or after this trip^^ But I don’t know what… A violon is a good idea, I think^^Ho! and Happy Birthday holmesianpose!! -- source link
