down among the dead men

when i was a kid there was a song called down among the dead men
a nautical tune, which made me think of pirates (the video, see below if you care to, courtesy of youtube tells me it's more titanic than pirate)
reason i thought of this was a cafe report on 3000 - dead man espresso, the review makes it sound a bit cowboy, but my association is still water & pirate
3000 also told me about this tattoo, in a book called home made tattoos rule
trying to find it, i came across another site which gave diy info on home made tatts, in case you're interested

i've included a playing card found object - i thought about playing cards the other day while crossing the street. how they're a good found object, easily tranferable (like cash), they can carry meanings or be aesthetic and of themselves...
