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

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

Dear SGT. Grunt,
This is a picture of my tat that I had done about 5 months ago. I would like it if you post it up on your website, along side of the rest of the motivated Marines. Thank you. Semper Fi

Just wanted to add some more art work to your collection.
The tribal is in remembrance with my time with STA platoon, and the arm band represents my family. My son's name inlayed in the feather, me as the EGA, and my wife above.

Ive seen this site a few times now and I decided to finally send in a picture of my tattoo. I designed it on my computer and then took it to the parlor. I had it done on my left arm and it took 3 hours. I love the detail on the wings. Im currently in Iraq doing my part in this war, when I come back home Im thinking of getting another motto tat.
Semper Fidelis,
