Hi…
I just wanted to share my tattoo…My name is Tiffanie and my husband CPL Goad serves in the USMC. My husband left for Iraq or February 7, 2006 and I got this 10 days after he left. The heart represents my love and pride I have for my Marine and my country. The wings represent those who have passed for our freedom all along. Thank you all for your sacrafices…I am very proud to be an American and a Marine Corps Wife!!! read more

Hi Sergeant Grit! My name is Paul Magor. I am a former 8th & I/Camp David Marine Corps Sergeant. The first Marine tattoo I got in 1979 was not the one I had picked out but still wear it with Marine Corps pride. I just got this one almost 27 years later, on 071506. I had this piece done by Dano, at Lucky 13 in Denver, Colorado. He did an awsome job! Once a Marine, Always a Marine. read more

I got this tattoo to show all who saw it, that I was apart of the best. But didn’t want the same tattoos as everyone else so I had one of my boys that was in 1/12 A battery draw it up for me. Thanks Gonzales

Enjoy!

I saw father and son Marine Corps emblem tattoo on these pages a few months ago when my sons were in Boot Camp in San Diego and I got the idea to get something similar. Three weeks ago I told my sons I was going to get this tattoo but I don’t think they believed me as I was in the Corps for 22 years and never got one. read more

Hello my name is Lisa from Michigan; i got my tattoo after I met this wonderful Marine this past June at Tarheel Opry we had a great time I kicked his butt in pool, his name is eric he is out of camp lejeune and now deployed. He has the same tattoo across his chest only not with the design and heart. This keeps me close to him and reminds me of the strong connection we had, hopefully i can talk to him soon. read more
