These were taken by my youngest daughter, so the quality isn't that good but you get the point. They are very clear in real life, or as real as my life gets, lol.

I'm loving that EGA, that's exactly what I want. I just can't find a good image on the internet that I can print out and bring in that they can transfer on to me.

You just have to make sure its big enough to show the detail and not bleed over time. Some people make the mistake of getting smaller tattoos and its just not good....bigger=better.

From Marine2023's link, I found some of the pics that were a bit larger, in this one you can see more detail of the battle theme.

I'm really liking the "modernized" EGA found in all the new USMC print advertisements....

The more I look at the new style EGA the more I love it, but I just can't get it out of my head that it looks damn near identical to the Nazi eagle from the Nazi emblem...

Accord, if you ever make a reference showing any sort of similarities between my beloved Corps emblem, and the emblem that so many Marines died to tear down, i will double time to your duty station, and hell will follow with me. Correct yourself.

Not going to correct myself, but I will clarify.

The eagle on the "modernized" EGA drawn up by whoever the Marine Corps hires to do their advertising campaigns is virtually identical, I simply made the observation as a con against the newer style because I am undecided in which EGA version i'm going to get. The traditional EGA is a classic, Marines from Belleau Wood and Marines from OEF like me with the exact same tat, doesn't get any better than that. The modernized EGA looks cool and I was seriously considering getting it, but I just can't get past the similarities between it and you-know-what. Don't get ****ed at me for making a pretty blatant observation, write a letter to J. Walter Thompson & Co.

Hhhhmmmm reminds me of the first time i saw 'Heartbreak Ridge' and got a good look at the modern Kevlar helmet which i found strikingly similar to the Wermacht steel pot

Accord==========I posted this once before. It is a kind of a comparison between US Marine training and Waffen-SS training. I am not pro SS but if you think about it????====Waffen-SS Indoctrinated to believe in the superiority of themselves and their national socialist cause, the soldiers of the SS were the third reich's elite. Strict physical standards were set for entry, and the training of SS soldiers stressed aggression and placed an emphasis on small-tactics.

When I got mine, it was during the phase where popular tats were spider webs on the elbows and knees and then the hinges on the inside of the elbows and back of knees, most of those guys I know now are regretting that decision. I wanted something tasteful, something that spoke about who I was, and something I wouldn't regret in my older years. So I got a tasteful USMC w/Bulldog, I liked it so much I went back 3 days later and got an Indian head done. I then waited a year and, STUPID ME, got a playboy bunny, which I have since covered up with a Wolf Paw print.

Each represents something in my life and describes who I am. I feel this should be anyones criteria when doing body art, choose something that describes you and definitely something that you won't regret in 20 or so years.
