The start of a true boatist begins with a balanced number of tattoos. You need at least some chain and one of those big fishing hooks they drop to stop the ship to make fast turns during action events.

You’ll need one with a heart that’s broken with an arrow thru it.

Next you need Keratin and testosterone boosters. When you start on those you’ll need to exercise a lot. Do pushups, arm wrestling and sparing. You’ll need a sword or a really long knife.

Carry a patch to cover one eye. It works better if you don’t have a leg. That way you can get a wood peg leg, which is very important.

Finally, go to Mexico and learn to roll your ars. This is what makes you a true pirate, which is your goal.
