Looks like some sailors in the South Pacific were actually singing "There ain't nothing like a dude!" At least in our minds. We've all seen those old school sailor tattoos of scantily clad dames who, with a few muscle flexes, look like they're doing the hootchie-cootchie. Presenting the all-male version, which surely would have been fabulously popular if gays openly served in war's yesteryears.
They're actually modern creations by tattoo artist Gerard Feliciano, who easily does the case justice for today's gay navy boys to ink these on their nubile young bodies. Imagine these on a muscle boy's pecs as he flexes. These cartoon hips will be thrusting back and forth with such fervor the entire squadron will start to get randy ideas. The one with the sailor in the hammock looks particularly delish.
With tattoos being somewhat of an epidemic among gay pornstars, these designs would be a welcome relief from the modern styles. They're erotically quaint in how they throwback to a era when homosexuality was covert and in the underground. They rewrite history to include all the hundreds of horny gay sailors who served throughout the early 20th century by giving them pin-ups that they could enjoy. Although your dear Cedric's body is uninked, even he is considering getting one of these. (The fop sailor boy with the cockily tilted hat is a personal fave.)
Let's hope this series continues! We'll ask and tell!
