National Talk Like a Pirate Day
19 September 2013
c’mon
let’s hear you…
arrrrgh!
sailing back from the 17 April 2011 post...
gunpowder, rum and tattoos
warning...do NOT try this at home
Arrrrgh
Pirates added gunpowder to rum as a proof test.
If the gunpowder and rum mixture did not ignite,
it was under proof—watered down rum.
Arrrrgh
Blackbeard the Pirate is the most famous
consumer of gunpowder rum.
Gunpowder and rum were also used
by pirates to create tattoos.
Arrrrgh
Nowadays it’s safer to stick with
Captain Morgan’s Tattoo brand rum...
and a monogrammed tattoo in thread
Disclaimer…
I don’t imbibe Captain Morgan’s while thread tattooing

I'll be wearing mine tomorrow - happy pirate day matey!!
I prefer the embroidery method of tattooing, Cathy! I heard Krispy Kreme is giving out free donuts today {not that I can eat them or even know if there is one in my area}.
arrrgh Kathy! Googling Krispy Kreme locations now to set sail....
a glazed and a pint to go!
Guess tats and vats aren't just for pirates!
xxoo

Arrrg....that stitched tattoo is the best! No sword, just scissors. '-)
