60 Davy Jones Tattoo Designs For Men – Sailors Devil Ink Ideas
There are some poor souls who spend their days slogging through the rocks, mud and rubble, hauling their loads atop their backs, driving a plow, or typing away in a cubicle like some diseased fowl.
But you have found freedom. You are a man of the sea.
With the salt spray bleaching your whiskers, the setting sun lighting your pipe, and Polaris, the north star, keeping your course, you struggle to feel at peace unless the boards beneath your feet are rocking to the gentle motion of the waves.
If the ocean is your home, you’re already a marked man. You may as well take on a Davy Jones tattoo when next you’re in port.
Davy Jones is none other than the drowned soul that walks below the waves, and saves a spot for all sinking men in his locker at the bottom of the sea. Some say that, when he still breathed air, he was known as Jonah, and he believed he could escape god himself. He fled across the land, and when he came to the sea, captained a ship and made off toward the sunset. But before long, a whale bigger than any man has known rose up and swallowed him whole.
Ever since, Davy Jones has walked among the kelp and the coral, welcoming all who seek a final resting place below the waves. Get yourself a tattoo design of old Davy Jones himself and let him know that it’s going to be a couple years, but you’re on your way.

What Is An Automatic Watch?
- Next Luxury / Men’s Style And Fashion
- by — Elliot Nash
- In Partnership with Vincero
The Vincero Icon Automatic is an elegantly simplistic timepiece upon first glance – a bunch of gears turning in sequence to tell the time.
However, once you realize there is no battery powering these intricate movements, you begin to understand the hundreds of years of precision, craftsmanship, and innovation that go into producing these incredible examples of horology that keep time for days on end.
Typically referred to as a self-winding watch, automatic watches require nothing more than regular use to keep them running, with the wearer’s natural movement powering the watch.
With early origins in the 18th century, automatic watches would not receive their notoriety until the rise of the wristwatch market at the beginning of the 20th century.
Stealing away the firm grip that pocket watches had on the market, automatic-winding technology would have its breakthrough.

What makes Vincero Automatic watches different?
There are several important metrics to take into account when assessing an automatic watch. From the quality of the materials used to the intricate complications and movements that lay inside, there’s a lot to consider when choosing an automatic watch, and we haven’t even begun to talk about price.
The Vincero Icon Automatic Watch, for example, has been meticulously crafted to meet standards of reliability and refinement, and it’s also rather ravishing too.
Sporting a case diameter of 41mm with a thickness of 11.5mm, the Icon sits comfortably on your wrist. And with the option for additional straps in crocodile leather, steel, and mesh, it’s suitable for any kind of aesthetic.
Not to mention the various different finishes the Vincero Icon Automatic Watch is available in, like Gunmetal and Slate Blue, Matte Black, Dark Olive, and Silver, or perhaps a little bit of Rose Gold instead.
Powered entirely by the wearers’ movement, the Vincero Icon boasts a power reserve of up to 40 hours thanks to the intricately robust Seiko NH35A Automatic. Visible through the display case back, the Icon’s literal heartbeat delivers accuracy and efficiency in spades.
Currently one of the world’s most popular automatic movements, the Seiko NH35A boasts an accuracy range within -20
+40 seconds per day and is capable of 21,600 bph.
Matched by its 10 ATM waterproof rating, you can take the Vincero Icon to a depth of 100 meters without damaging your precious watch. And thanks to the use of scratch-resistant Sapphire Crystal glass and 316L Surgical Stainless Steel, it’s tougher than your average wristwatch.
For something a little fancier, you could grab yourself one of Vincero’s limited edition Italian Marble Automatic watches. Cut from historic Italian Marble, both the dial and band feature historic Italian marble, making each watch unique in this limited edition collection.
Sporting a larger 43mm case diameter, with a similar thickness of only 11.5mm, the Vincero Marble Automatic is available in various exclusive finishes, including Black Verde, Black Rosso, Silver Nero, and Gunmetal Scuro. A leather option is also available too.
Powered by the Citizen Miyota 90S5 Movement, the intricately robust caliber is on full display via the exhibition case back.
Boasting a power reserve of 40 hours, the accuracy of -10
+30 sec per day, and a vibration frequency of 28,800 bph, Vincero’s limited edition Italian Marble Automatic watch is a stunning example of how far automatic watches have come.
Since 2014, Vincero has produced high-quality watches without taking shortcuts for the people who refuse to take them. Offering free worldwide shipping, 30-day returns, and a 2-year guarantee on all of their products, Vincero is top-tier quality with top-tier service. For exceptionality crafter timepieces at fair prices, choose Vincero for your next watch.

The Vincero Icon Automatic has been meticulously crafted to meet standards of reliability and refinement. Available in a range of colors and finishes, it’s suitable for any kind of aesthetic.
Maintaining your Vincero Automatic Watch
Beyond professional servicing, every three to five years, maintaining your Vincero automatic watch is as simple as wearing it. Keeping the power reserve stocked up through regular use will prolong the life of your Vincero watch, in addition to keeping it dry and clean.
Though most automatic watches are typically waterproof, even the Vincero Icon Automatic Watch with its 10 ATM rating should be dried off immediately after exposure to water.
You should also avoid dropping your watch, as impacts can break the delicate internal mechanisms, causing your automatic watch to malfunction.
Дэвид Боуи и татуировки его семьи
10 января 2016 года нас покинул Дэвид Боуи . Его вдова Иман , супер-модель сомалийского происхождения, отметила это печальное событие тем, что опубликовала в своем инстаграме две фотографии. Ими стали две татуировки: одна на руке их дочери Александрии , а другая на ноге самой Иман .
Александрия Захра, дочь Дэвида и Иман , которой недавно исполнилось 17 лет, сделала небольшую татуировку на которой изображена Луна, слово Daddy (Папочка) и цифры 1947-2016 (годы жизни ее отца). Возможно, что причиной появления такой татуировки стал случай, отпечатавшийся в памяти ребенка, о котором Дэвид Боуи рассказал на одном из тв-шоу в 2002 году: «Мы сидели на террасе поздним вечером, светила луна — было очень светло. Она впервые увидела луну — начала плакать и смеяться одновременно! Она потащила меня в свою комнату, где мы стали листать ее детские книжки. Потом опять вышли на террасу и сравнивали то, что было нарисовано с тем что сияло на небе!»
Второй опубликованной в инстаграме татуировкой стала татуировка, находящаяся на ноге Иман . Она сделала ее достаточно давно и совсем немногие знали о ее существовании. На ноге супермодели изображен, так называемый, Нож Боуи — охотничий нож с большим клинком, название которого стало псевдонимом Дэвида . На самом деле, в ранние годы своей карьеры, Дэвид выступал под своим собственным именем — Дэвид Джонс . Однако это создавало путаницу, ибо в популярнейшей группе тех времен The Monkees уже был известный участник по имени Дэви Джонс .
Псевдоним пришлось сменить. Говорят, что причиной того, что Боуи назвал себя именно так стало то, что он был ярым поклонником The Rolling Stones и непосредственно Мика Джаггера . Узнав о том, что слово джаггер в переводе со староанглийского означает нож , он решил заимствовать эту идею и назвал себя Боуи . «Нож — это палка о двух концах» , — так на этот счет однажды высказался сам Дэвид Джонс Боуи .
