Very Proud Marine Wife Tattoo

I am very proud to be the wife of a Marine. We were married when we left for boot camp and so I feel a very strong attachment to the family I'm making in the corps. I got this tattoo in honor of my husband. I designed it myself and a wonderful artist in Port Clinton, OH. made it just what I had envisioned. I usually have to explain it to civilians, but when I'm out Marines spot it from across the room, I have been criticized for it, but being the wife of a Marine is part of who I am, and I am proud to be one of the few women who can handle the job. read more

Firefighter Tattoo

I had this tattoo done right before my son, a Lance Corporal in the USMC, was deployed to Fallujah, Iraq as a TOW gunner with the 1st Tank Battalion. The axe represents my job as a professional firefighter, the M16 represents his job as a U.S. Marine and the eagle and flag represent the patriotism of our entire family which includes service in the Marine Corp, Air Force, Army and Navy. This tattoo was designed by myself and is dedicated to my son, LCP Aaron Baker now serving in Fallujah. The tattoo was done by Dan McClure at Bullwinkles in Wichita, Kansas. read more

Two Loves in One

Sgt. Grit,
Attached is my new tattoo I recieved this past weekend. I wanted something that would reflect the two biggest things in my life. First is the Corps, and second is my love for teaching first responders how to deal with biological agents. So I came up with a drawing of what I wanted and finally got it done after 12 years of being out of the Corps. I may be out but I am still a Marine!

Stunning Eagle Globe and Anchor Tattoo

Sgt. Grit,
I have attached a picture of my USMC tattoo that you can add to your USMC tattoo pages. I always proudly wear my USMC shirts and covers and now, 35 years after leaving active duty I decided it was time to display my dedication and loyalty to the Marine Corps on my arm. I now regret that I waited so long. I used your black and white Eagle, Globe and Anchor decal as an example and the tattoo artist transformed that onto my upper arm.
Semper Fi,

Marine Wife – Always Faithful

Sgt Grit,
I went today and had another tattoo added that I believe in. I am a Marine Wife of 5 years, but have many more to come. I wanted something to show that I believe and support my hubby and that I am just as happy to be a part of the Marine Corps. If you have room, could you please add this into your pics, as I don't see many wives getting tat's of Marine Corps pride.
Many Thanks

Biker Marine Tribute

My dad finally got his first tattoo a couple months ago. He's been Active Duty for 26 years and counting, and also a biker. Our "brother" was killed 22 days after returning home from OIF in a motorcycle accident. This is my dad's memorial tattoo to him. I'll be getting mine done sometime this next year, so hopefully I'll have that picture done and added on here. Semper Fi!
