About this design:

My Favorite theme. This is a play on traditional Americana tattoo design. Historically sailors going off to see would get tattooed to document their travels and experiences, some of those sailors would not make it back home. This is a tattoo based design using a traditional diving helm to honor that tradition. Four color cuddly soft Plastisol Ink on Teal American Apparel Tee.

Christian Audigier's got his eye on you Castle! -- that's a complement of sorts (don't sell out! (save for Shirt Fight of course because I'm buying) just don't die like Jerry, Ed and Von and you got it made!
