Sgt Grit It took me a while to do it, but I finally ended up getting my Marine Corps tattoo… Sgt A. Julian Burgower, 1994-2001

This is the tattoo that I had done in California right after I got home from Iraq in March 2005. The Arabic line below the Eagle, Globe and Anchor says “Stop or I’ll Shoot”. Semper Fi, Sgt. Maddox E Co 4th ATB

I got these two in fall of 2006. Corps Values are what Marines live by and make them who they are. Marines must ensure they guide their performance, behavior, and conduct every munute of every day. Honor – Integrity, Responsibility, Accountability Courage – Do the Right thing, in the Right way, for the Right reasons Commitment – Devotion to the Corps and my fellow Marines Semper Fidelis Cpl Holly Backer 02Jun07 read more

Sgt Grit, I’ve been out of active service for about 11 years now and just recently I got my Marine Corps Tattoo. I wanted something that no one else had. So after much searching I found the artist to make my dream a reality. Lazlo Barath at A.S.I. in Salt Lake City Utah is that artist. I came to him with an idea and through his talent this piece is the outcome. I served with Sierra Battery 5th battalion 10th Marines, Camp Lejeune, N.C. This tattoo has to do with a term used in artillery called “Catching The Dragon”. All you “Gunrocks” out there will know the term I’m sure but those who don’t here’s what it means. When a round is fired and you have a shit hot #1 man he can quickly catch and crack the breach igniting the hot gasses inside causing flames to roll out the tube. Its an awesome sight especially at night. I hope you all enjoy the 13+ hours it took. Semper Fi Sgt. Sean Scott SLC, UT read more

My daughter’s school honored all veterans this past Veteran’s Day with a breakfast and school assembly. It’s amazing how all us Marines, from young to old; still show our Esprit De Corps! When asked to stand, we all shouted out with a blood curdling bark or Ooooooh Raaaaah! Gave me chills!!! So after being out for 12 years, I finally decided to honor our fallen brothers by getting some ink. First I decided to get the EGA from my high school buddy, Brian Berky, who is a great artist. A week later, Brian called and said he had a new idea of a piece for my back I might like. So, here it is. Semper Fi Marines, Mike Korczykowski Fmr. Sgt.
