This is my FMF Corpsman tattoo. I originally had it designed as an anchor being the staff with the snakes going up that with a kevlar and redcross on top and wings behind it. That was drawn up in Corps school. I have never been, and never intend to be, blue side. With that thought in mind I revised the idea. So this design includes the EGA to represent my pride of taking care of and being counted on the best men in service. The staff obviously had to be replaced so I used the memorial for Marines and Corpsman, brothers, that I have lost. The EGA lended the wings of the Eagle to cover the wings necessary for the caduceus. My buddy Matt Lentz at Under the Needle in Seattle (previously Soul Expressions Temecula and Bulletproof Spokane) helped me put it all together.
