Sarah Mulvey rocks a traditional style ship tattoo of the Schooner Ernestina-Morrisey. Her tattoo was done by Chris Cautillo<\/a> of The Torchbearer<\/a> tattoo and piercing, Pawtucket, RI. You can find out more about the Ernestina-Morrisey on this website<\/a>, and below Sarah explains how sailing on it shaped the person she\u2019s become. She begins<\/em>:<\/p>\n

A little history lesson for you first \u2013 the Schooner Ernestina-Morrisey is a 122-year-old wooden gaff-rigged schooner built in Gloucester. She has done nearly everything a ship can do \u2013 fishing, Artic exploration, and commercial trade during her long life at sea. She is a historic landmark of the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park (whew), the State Ship of Massachusetts, and she calls New Bedford, MA her home.\u00a0\u00a0I was fortunate enough to sail aboard Ernestina for a three-day excursion when I was thirteen years old.<\/p>\n

That experience has shaped the person I am.
\nIt marked the longest amount of time away from my family, and one of the first moments where I was expected to fully fend for myself. I joke about it, but the fact that I didn\u2019t come home with a sunburn was one of the most amazing aspects of that trip for me. Responsible Adult-ing 101: A+.<\/p>\n

I also learned to take risks on that ship, and not to let my fear get the better of me. I leapt off the hull into the same waters where they filmed\u00a0Jaws<\/em>, despite my irrational (but totally rational) fear of sharks. I made friends with kids that didn\u2019t go to my school. I answered questions during our lessons, I helped haul in sails, I did EVERYTHING that scared me. And I did it well. I have an almost supernatural enthusiasm for things that I love, and I\u2019ve learned to just go for it and jump in. What\u2019s the worst that can happen? You land in the water?<\/p>\n

With that in mind, I sat down for this tattoo in the midst of training for a new job, moving into a new place, and healing a recently broken heart. When you\u2019re starting over, there is nothing to lose. You just have to jump in<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
