I am sure a lot of us have some Marine Corps tats. What are they of?

The Saturday after graduation. I went right into a tattoo shop and got the Eagle Globe and Anchor.

Well when i was qualling in boot on the m16 i had the riflemans prayer in my pocket over my heart since i unced the day before, shot expert so i got the riflemans prayer and crossed rifles on my heart. Then i got on my shoulder blades USMC the letters look like crayon the dots are playblocks and under it says uncle sam's misguided children. Then its got a baby in a tank with a kevlar on.

I have dog tags tangled in barbed wire around my right bicep. The names of two of my Marines who died in Bosnia while serving with me are on the tags.

Eagle Globe And Anchor on my right shoulder, but the eagle has the wings raised like a harley eagle. Infact the artist had drawn it previously with the eagle sitting on a harley engine. he just put it on the globe and anchor for me.

USMC in Old English lettering on left bicep. 10 bucks in downtown Olongapo, 1985.

"Death before Dishonor" in plain writing, right forearm. 10 bucks, downtown Olongapo, 1987.

Same little old wizened Filipino man did both; said he'd been tattooing folks since "the japanese", and I believed him.

Both done with bamboo needles. The USMC is colored R/W/B, colors are still nice and bright. If you can handle the bamboo, get that over the other electric needle by all means. Well worth it.
