My boyfriend graduated from MCRD on March 11, 2005. When we got back to Chicago we went to the tattoo parlor and got his first Marine Corps tattoo. He is so proud to be a Marine and we are so proud of him for being a Marine.

Sgt. Grit,
This is a picture of my youngest Marine's tattoo. The artwork is an original design that he described to the artist. It was done while he was in Pennsicola for Aviation Electronics schooling. He had it done 1 year ago.

The beauty of it definitley represents the honor he has for the Eagle,Globe and Anchor! It took 2 sittings but he said like all Marines "pain is weakness leaving the body"…..He's now in Cherry Point and a Lance Corporal. My oldest is Intell so no tat's for him…..also a Lance Corporal. read more

Stylized POW-MIA Remembrance
I had been wanting to get a POW-MIA tat for quite a awhile. I started with the eagle while I decided. Finally the artist and myself took a POW-MIA sticker and came up with this tattoo.

I now put the flags above the eagle. It is the next step in my Military sleeve. read more

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!

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

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,

My name is Iron Mike I served in Cco BLT 1/3 from 79-83 I am also a member of the Leathernecks Motorcycle Club International, NH Chapter 1 Our club is made up of Honorably discharged Marines and Navy Corpsmen and this tat is of our Club Colors.

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!
