Sgt. Grit,
I am GySgt Rose USMC Retired. This is the tattoo I finally got after retiring from the Corps in 2001. I spent 20 yr. 8 months and 5 days in and never got a tattoo but wanted one so I went to 616 A. West Roosevelt Blvd. Monroe, North Carolina 28110 704.225.9383 while visiting another retired Marine and I got this one of a kind original tattoo I had it drawn before I went to get it, I wanted to make sure I got what I wanted so this is it. Owner / Artist: John Mills did my tattoo. It is also featured on his web site www.inkaholicstattoos.com Hope you enjoy the art. read more

Temporary?

Hi Sgt Grit
I bought one of your temp tattoos and tried to fool my son when he was on leave. Well he was too smart for me, and didn't believe it. I told him by the time he got back from Iraq I would have a real one, he said he wouldn't believe that either. Well that sounded like a dare to me! So I wanted you to see my new tattoo. It's much bigger than the temp and the colors were changed to make it my own, also it says mother of 2 marines. I am very proud of my tattoo and the more I look at it the more I love it. So far, I only got response from one of my Marines and he liked it.

Better Late Than Never

I got out of the Corps in 99. Was with 2nd Bn 8th Marines 94-97 then shipped over to be with H&S Bn on Parris Island from 97-99. It's been five years since I got out but it hasn't stopped me from wanting to put the EGA on everything I own. Thought everyone was kinda corny when I was in because they got these straight outta ITB. I guess the wait was worth it, I found the right artist who drew up exactly what I wanted.
Great times, great buddies and I miss both of them.

Hardcharging Devil Dog and Proud Marine Wife

Tattoo Born On Date: 2005 Mar 06

My husband is getting ready for his third deployment to the Middle East since the war on terrorism began. He decided now would be a good time to get the USMC tattoo he'd been dreaming of. We also wanted to get matching tattoos, so we found a compromise. Mine's a little more feminine for the PROUD MARINE WIFE and his is tough for the HARDCHARGING DEVIL DOG. Thanks for posting! read more

USMC Tattoo My First Tattoo

I was in the Corps from 1976-1980. It took me 25 years to get my first Tattoo. I wanted one that had something to do with the Marine Corps. I found many great pictures on the internet. I took three to a tattoo artist and had her make me a picture that was special. I got my tattoo on April Fools day 2005. I wanted to support my Brothers and Sister that are fighting for our freedom. This is the Tattoo. Thank you for letting me tell my story. read more
