Celtic Eagle, Globe, and Anchor

It took me the longest time to find an artist up to the task of creating a 100% knotwork EGA. Makes me a happy man.

My Eagle, Globe, and Anchor

5 hours of pride, I designed it and had it done at a friends shop… Bodytech

In 2006 I was stationed on MCAS Beaufort as Crash Fire Rescue, and got augmenting over at PMO. One morning about 3 months after I had been promoted to Corporal I got a call from one of the SSgt’s telling me the Major wanted to see me, and that I needed to be inspection ready in my cammies. Since I had been out the night before I thought for sure I had done something and not remembered it. When I got there I was taken to a room and told the Major was inside. When I opened the door my grandfather, who adopted me and I call my dad was standing there with all of PMO. On the table was a case with a NCO sword inside. My grandfather was a TSgt in Korea and all he said was, “From one Marine to another.” I tried to buy him a sword but he said he was too old to enjoy it, so this is his sword. read more

My First Marine Corps Tat

The idea for this came from a picture I saw on this site. It was the swords tile that they sold. Thanks Sgt. Grit

Semper Fi

I did the drawing for this tattoo in 1992 when I was in the Suck and waited for my friend to get his skills up to the task. I waited 18 years. Still not done, the Iwo Jima statue is gonna be as a background drop on the bottom.
