Hi

Well there is the dead man’s hand cards. You could go with cracked dice, pieces of eight (old fashioned coins of silver maybe have a Medusa head as the face?).

Maybe torn pieces of treasure maps pinned into the skin.

There is also the swallows both fleshed and rotting/skeletal.

Lucky/unlucky charms (the unlucky ones were sometimes made from rotting severed fingers with the rings still attached dangling from a ring or chain).

Take care
Matthew

If you’re thinking pirate themed then you could also do a ship in a storm with lightening?

Thanks for that mate, some food for thought there 🙂

Also I was gonna go with a pirate ship on my forearm.

IMO the ship on your forearm wont work, i think everything should flow and the skull would just be too big to go with the ship, i like the idea of the charms/cards/dice ect.
