This is my first tattoo which I got at Mighty Joe's in North Carolina while attending School of Infantry in '89. I am proud to show it to everyone and proud to be a Marine with India 3/3. I served from 1989-1993 – Once a Marine, Always a Marine. read more

Hey Motivator of Motivator's,

Here is a tattoo for your BS page, This was originally a bulldog just like 75% of all Marines get down at ITB/MCT in Lejuene only I got mine out at 29 Stumps. When I got out in 2000 I decided I wanted something bigger and better, so I sat down with my tattoo artist and came up with this original cover up. You won't find this hanging on a wall in any tattoo parlor this is hand drawn and retired OOH RAH!!! and SEMPER FI!! and for those FEW who know what this means YAT YAS!!! read more

Please include this picture on your website in the tattoo section. I would greatly appreciate it.

Enclosed you'll find a picture of a tattoo my son got while attending "security forces" school in chesapeake va. notice the dog tag's….son is in front and dad's is in the rear. i guess thats the "new corps in place of the old corps". either way…..it's still the marine corps. thanks….. read more

Here is a couple of tattoos I'm real proud of. I had these done about 4 months ago, about 35 years after I was discharged. I love the reaction I get when I have a tank top on or my swimming suit. I was in the 1st Marine Brigade out of Kanaheo Bay in Oahu. We bugged out for Viet Nam and all 10,000 of us joint up with the 3rd Marines and landed on red beach March 1965. I was a gunner on a 81mm motor, mos 0341 and love every bit of it. I'm 56 years old and couldn't be prouder – I'm as gung ho now as I was back in 2/63 when I joined. Semper Fi to all. read more

Sgt. Grit, Thanks for the reciprocal link to my international survival guide in your links page. I have also attached a couple of my tattoos. Semper Fi !
