This Tattoo is Represents the Marine NCO when I was promoted I was so excited while on leave I had a set of chevrons from my chariles so that is an exact replica. I have seen lots of the gunny stripes, but no SGT so this is a original put it on for every motivated SGT to see. 1995 -1999 read more

I had the ANGLICO insignia done in 94 the "death before dishonor" in 98. I recently added the banners and the EGA. as time goes on I should have a whole sleeve dedicated to our corps. Semper Fi

This is a tattoo I got while stationed at Marine Corps Detachment, Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. I loved the looks I got walking around an Army base with an oorah tat. Now I'm a 5711 at 3rd MAW/MWSS-371 Yuma, Arizona.

My name is Chris Tennant and i'm a recruit waiting to ship out to Parris Island. I leave June 8th, 2004 with the MOS of 2111 Small Arms Repair. This is a tattoo I just had done, it isn't related to the Marine Corps itself but I thought maybe you would want to put it on your site anyway. I plan to get many more including some USMC work done after I graduate boot camp. read more

Here is one of three tats that I have, this one is an original designed by myself along with Drew's Tattoos from upstate New York. It speaks for Itself. Semper Fi Brothers.

On 9-11-01, I sat in the station auditorium. Ironically enough we were having a "rapid deployment" brief to advise the Marines in their families what would happen if we had to deploy. We didn't know about the terrorist attacks until halfway through the briefing. The entire base went to lock down and most Marines got ready for war. I always wanted a Marine Corps tattoo but it had to be something unique. I was not until that day that I knew what I wanted. I am no longer on active duty but I continue the fight while work for the Department of Homeland Security. read more

Sgt Grit, This Tattoo was originally done by an artist in Destin, Florida that did not do a very good job. I had it re-done by Jeremie, a fine artist working at "Tattoos Forever" in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. I had planned to get a tattoo for many years, but could not really decide what I wanted. After spending much time looking at different tattoos, I gathered ideas from different graphics I had seen and composed this design. I am now working on a design to place on my other arm. While I am at it, let me tell you what a great service you do for Marines around the world with your newsletter! (Great merchandise, too!!)
