Here is a picture of my new tattoo, been wanting to get it for years and finally went out and got it after being out since ’96. It was done by “Irish” at Atomic Tattoos in Largo, FL.

This is my moto tat for all those cannoners out there and our brothers who didnt make it back. I got it done by Tom Young in Redding CA while i was on recruiting duty. now its back to 11th marines…..KING OF BATTLE! Sgt Hart

Dear Sgt Grit Here is a pic of a tattoo I got after I graduated from boot camp thought you would want to put it on your page. I am currently at my mos school at fort Leonard wood Missouri.

Just wanted to submit my tattoo. My tattoo artist did an amazing job of capturing the things I love. I have the flag over my heart because I truly love this country. The Eagle, Globe & Anchor is over the flag to protect it, I replaced the continents with a bald eagle because the freedom we provide is global. I served with 9th comm. Bn. as a crypto tech (2881) my loyalty to the corps will always be through my service as a crypto tech hence the 2881 has replaced the “Semper Fidelis” in the ribbon. Thank you Sgt. Grit for providing an outstanding place for Marines, new and old, to converge. Cpl. Kirby read more

I just wanted to drop you this note. I have been trying to find the right tattoo artist that could fix my tribal band and turn it into an incredible Marine Corps Tattoo. I have been looking for about 10 years for the right artist. In Pittsburgh PA I found such an artist. His name is Cliff and is the owner of Angry Moon Tattoo.. www.angrymoontattoo.com Here is the before and after. He is going to be redoing my jump wings over the next few weeks and I’ll send you a picture when I get them done. Semper Fi MSgt Craig F Hodgkins read more
