My son graduated from MCRD San Diego on 9 September 05 and after we got home this is the tattoo he went to get. He asked that I send it to you to have you post on your website. My tattoo wasn't USMC related yet because I haven't found the perfect one yet but as soon as I do I will send you a photo of it as well. read more

Hello Sgt. Grit,
My husband is a Cpl is the Marines and we've always liked looking at the Marine tattoos on your site. Here is a picture of a recent tattoo he has. It isn't Marine related but it does relate to his MOS in the Marines. It's a tattoo of gears inside his arm and he works on helicopters. read more

Just wanted to post my tattoo for all to view. I’m a Navy guy that’s been attached to the Marines since 1995 and I feel a great sense of loyalty to them. As your motto and my tattoo reads, I will always be faithful to the United States Marine Corps and to the Navy. I am currently serving with the Marines in Camp Fallujah, Iraq. I wouldn’t go to war with anyone else!! Oorah! read more

Sgt Grit:
I had the distinct honor to witness my son earn the title United States Marine on 12-Aug-05 at MCRD Parris Island. Without my knowledge my son joined the our beloved Corps in the delayed entry program on 27-Feb-05 exactly 30 years to the day that his old man had enlisted. He now leaves for Camp Lejeune for infantry training. He and I had this tattoo done in recognition that we are "Father*Son*and now Brothers…" Not as lean, Not as mean, but still a Marine. read more

Sgt. Grit,
For your collection. I graduated from MCRD Parris Island, on August 12th 1968. It took a while but I got my tattoo on August 12th 2005 at Riverside Tattoo Studio in Oxford Alabama. Design was drawn by D.M. Pointer.

Just turned 18 yesterday and I went out and got a tattoo. If you think it looks decent, feel free to put it on the tattoo collection on the website. PFC T.J. Feagin

My husband and I decided that after he returned from Iraq this past time, we would get our "last" tattoos together. While in 29 Palms, we found an artist that was just awesome! I thought I would share what we ended up with. My husband got his on his upper arm, while I chose my lower back. read more

My buddies stationed in Japan right now and he designed his own tattoo! It is the Iron Cross and the Punisher symbol cuz Punisher is his favorite and the Cross is just cool.
