Navy life had me for 11 1/2 years, but it took me almost 15 outside before getting my 1st tattoo.

Just Breathe has become my mantra. It just fit me at this time in my life. A friend helped me make the decision; she’s well inked.

Care to show me your tattoo, and tell us a story about it?

Cookie, a regular reader here on Underway Life, has some great stories to share.  This one is going to hit home most with submariners. Spending time at sea though, you’ll find it immediately interesting.

Here’s an excerpt to set the stage:

“On the old fleet boats (WWII Submarines)..all the various water and sewage piping drained into the Sanitary Tanks…things like the sinks, showers, coffee urn, heads (toilets), urinals, skuttlebutts (drinking fountains) and few other extraneous systems having to do with water/sewage.”
