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!

One tattoo is of a BloodStripe down the side of my leg. I got it done in Okinawa in Sept. 2002. The other is "Semper Fidelis" on my right ribcage, done in Jan 2002 while I was in Guam. Not the greatest pics but I just wanted to share my pride like everyone else. read more

Hi, it's Cpl Harriger here.

One of my friends in my unit drew this tattoo himself. I originally only had the USMC, but felt that more needed to be added. He has his own tattoo parlor in NY, called Chris Tattoos. He's done mine, and 8 other guys in my unit here at MCB Quantico, VA Track Vehicle Platoon, all original works of art. We nicknamed it Swamp Bitch, for those of you that can't really tell. read more

Wanted to share this with all my fellow Bro's. I'm a grunt 1/3 Charlie 2nd Plt from K-Bay 82-86. Awhile after getting out I got into the fire service, It took me 6 long years to get hired (very competitive) I wanted to get a Marine / Fire Dept. tat when I got hired into a large Dept. I'm a truckie (ladder guy) on ladder 204 in Mesa AZ. Thx to Steve at virtual reality tattoo in Gilbert he custom drew this for me. The EGA tearing from my skin means the Corps always being a part of who I am, The Fireman's Maltese Cross being branded into my skin represents the loyalty to my brothers and sisters in the fire service and being baptized by fire. Both of these together is true Patriotism, honoring the freedoms of this wonderful country and what our Stars and Stripes represent being UNCOMMON VALOR. read more

SGT. Grit,

I just though I would share with you my tattoo that I received a short time ago. I wanted something symbolic of a Marine Mom. So here it is. It is just about healed now and am very proud to show it off. Semper Fi
