I got this tattoo to pay tribute to my time in the Marine Corps as an artillery cannoneer. In the background are the heavy artillery cannons. In front of cannons is the 1st Marine Division Insignia the diamond and the number 1 which should say Guadalcanal but it is covered. On top of the 1st Marine Division is the skull which was designed by a Marine from our unit. Around the tattoo at the top is “Alpha 1/11” and at the bottom of the tattoo our unit motto “Rain of Pain”. With the help of my friend/tattoo artist I created this design.
1st Battallion 11th Marines Heavy Artillery / Alpha Battery
