I got this one on Viet Nam in 1963. Since them I have over the years tested positive for Hepititus “C”, Hepititus “B” and T.B., follow up tests have shown I only have the Anti-bodies for them. I belive it was the tattoo shop where I picked them up. My wife loves the Tattoo. Charles Black USMC 1880773 read more

Good evening Sgt. I’ve been coming to your site even before I enlisted, mainly because I stumbled across it looking up tattoo’s online. Anyways while I was home on christmas leave I decided to get my first moto tat and I thought I would share it with you. I got it done at South Texas Tattoo Studio in my hometown of Aransas Pass, TX and I love the way it came out. On a side note thanks for making such an awesome site and all your support, take care and Semper Fi. -PFC Gatewood read more

My best friend in the whole world is in the Marine Corps. He is stationed in Japan right now, and last I heard I believe he was a lcpl. Justin Graham. When he got out of boot camp I took him to get this tat. It took about 3 1/2 hours, but it was totally worth it. read more

Sgt. Grit, After years of not having a Marine Corps Tattoo, not that I didn’t want one, because like most of the Marines out of boot camp that got one, I did not. It was the whole “oh look it’s a boot with a fresh ‘beat me up I’m a boot'” that I never got one. Now that I am more mature and every bit of proud to claim the TITLE OF MARINE, I finally got the one I wanted! I hope other Devil Dogs love it as much as me!
