Graduation Present

Semper Fidelis Tattoo

My First Tattoo

I was in the Corps from 1976-1980. It took me 25 years to get my first Tattoo. I wanted one that had something to do with the Marine Corps. I found many great pictures on the internet. I took three to a tattoo artist and had her make me a picture that was special. I got my tattoo on April Fools day 2005. I wanted to support my Brothers and Sister that are fighting for our freedom. This is the Tattoo. Thank you for letting me tell my story.

Sincerely,
Frank Spangler
Sgt, USMC

Hardcharging Devil Dog and Proud Marine Wife

Tattoo Born On Date: 2005 Mar 06

My husband is getting ready for his third deployment to the Middle East since the war on terrorism began. He decided now would be a good time to get the USMC tattoo he'd been dreaming of. We also wanted to get matching tattoos, so we found a compromise. Mine's a little more feminine for the PROUD MARINE WIFE and his is tough for the HARDCHARGING DEVIL DOG. Thanks for posting!

Better Late Than Never

I got out of the Corps in 99. Was with 2nd Bn 8th Marines 94-97 then shipped over to be with H&S Bn on Parris Island from 97-99. It's been five years since I got out but it hasn't stopped me from wanting to put the EGA on everything I own. Thought everyone was kinda corny when I was in because they got these straight outta ITB. I guess the wait was worth it, I found the right artist who drew up exactly what I wanted.
Great times, great buddies and I miss both of them.

Her First Tattoo

Sgt. Grit,
Here's a picture of my tattoo for you tattoo page. My tattoo is on my lower back, right over the top of my pants. It's my first tattoo and I love it! I'm looking to get another tattoo, but I don't know where. I love the Marnie Corps and love serving!
Ooh Rah!

Temporary?

Hi Sgt Grit
I bought one of your temp tattoos and tried to fool my son when he was on leave. Well he was too smart for me, and didn't believe it. I told him by the time he got back from Iraq I would have a real one, he said he wouldn't believe that either. Well that sounded like a dare to me! So I wanted you to see my new tattoo. It's much bigger than the temp and the colors were changed to make it my own, also it says mother of 2 marines. I am very proud of my tattoo and the more I look at it the more I love it. So far, I only got response from one of my Marines and he liked it.

POW-MIA Tatttoo

Sgt. Grit,
Here is my newest tattoo. The artist helped with the idea. He suggested the idea of fading the face. I hope that your readers like it as much as I've enjoyed the ones that they have shared.

Motivated OohRah Tat

Sgt Grit, Here is my motivated ohhrah tattoo. The font of the "United Stated Marines" is the same off of the NCO sword. The eagle, globe, and anchor is an original design by Twisted Heart Tattoo in S. Fla. My tat took 6 1/2 hours, but it was well worth it! Could you post this on your site?

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!
