I added the EGA and crossed bayonets above the 25-year old "USMC" lettering. I asked a good friend of mine, Marine Mike Leahy to draw the EGA for me, which he did. I took Mike's hand-drawn EGA (and bayonets) and had it made into a tattoo. I think it came out really awesome!

I got my devil dog tattoo in '72, while stationed on Okinawa, Japan at M.C.B. Camp Butler. I decided to touch it up after 31 years, and added the Globe behind the devil dog, with the Eagle and fouled anchor. I call my Marine Emblem tattoo, "Eagle, Dawg and Anchor!" Jack at www.JackandDianes.com in Gulfport, MS did the art work. I should of had it redone years ago. Jack did a great job on this old Marine.

Well, I just graduated from Marine Corps Recruit Training on Oct 24, 2003 (2 days ago) and got my tattoo last night. Hope you all enjoy!

I could have sworn I saw a page on your site with some of the Corps' finest showing off their ink. Thought I would send in something a little different. I am amazed still, at the number of people that don't know or recognize the symbol of the POW/ MIA. So I had it done on my right hand to honor, remind, and educate. Having a new "USMC" tattoo done, the original one is way too faded. Semper Fi read more

Here's my new tattoo my girlfriend got me for my birthday recently. I just retired from the Corps in 2002, but have been looking for something original for about 8 years and just didn't want the same things that others were having done. I finally found an artist in Dallas, TX. through my girlfriend and he gave me a great deal and an even better work of art. Ali works for Custom Tattoos in Arlington, TX and I would highly recommend him! I hope the readers enjoy it! read more
