Guys Are Really Into Nautical Tattoos Right Now
If you think Pinterest is geared toward people interested in easy seven-layer-dip recipes, inspirational quotes about dancing while no one’s watching, and pictures of puppies covered in glitter, you’re not wrong. But it has its edgy moments, too—even for guys. And one thing people are using the digital image buffet for is finding inspiration for their next tattoo. According to Pinterest, there are more than 365 million photos of ink in circulation on the platform right now. And among those millions of photos are a select group resonating more than any other. Here are the ones men pinned most:
