EGA Tat for the BS Page

After 15 years of looking for just the right Eagle Globe and Anchor tattoo and the right guy to do it, I found both. Dragon Guy Tattoo in Greensboro N.C.

Sgt. Grit,

I just got my tattoo today that I have wanted for some time. Here is the pic, I have seen any Battalion tats out there yet.

USMC tattoo

To LCpl Hill,

I have a tattoo of the Eagle, Globe and Anchor, but not in the traditional sense, as I have not earned the right to wear it as a Marine. I have been with my Marine for almost 10 years, and during our 2nd deployment, I had the notion to be tattooed with a shadow of the Eagle, Globe and Anchor. To be a true shadow, it would have been placed backwards, but that seemed wrong in more ways than not... I hope you will not take offense to my tribute, as it is but a shadow.

20 years later

At ease, I’ll be in the area all day…

Here I am 20 years since I was between schools to become a 2171 Electro-Optics Tech and I just recently got my EGA tattoo. While I served 88-92 and 95-96 I was fortunate to have good commands, work with many good units, and serve with great Marines. My time in the Corps was outstanding but I never did get a Marine Corps tattoo. I have two other small tattoos but they are generally unseen. I was no longer satisfied with just sporting the great apparel and goods that you guys offer and decided it was time to permanently show my pride. I got this tattoo on the inside of my right forearm, that way whenever I extend my arm to shake someone’s hand they can see who and what I am. With our 234th birthday approaching I will raise my beer(s) and toast all Marines young and old!

USMC tattoo

Dear Sgt Grit,

My boyfriend Sgt Cea went to Iraq in Feb 09 for the second time and I wanted him to know how much I loved him so I got this tattoo on my foot. He means the world to me and I'll always be by his side. Semper Fi Baby!!!

Eagle, Globe, and Anchor Tattoo

Sgt. Grit,

Here is a picture of my recently acquired USMC tattoo. My father and brother also served in our glorious Corps. My father passed away last year to cancer and I wanted to honor him and our bond together. I got the EGA and added the M3 to signify my dad, my brother, and myself (as all of our first names begin with the letter "M"). The cased American flag signifies my father's passing and receiving full military honors. I also had "Father, Sons, Brothers Forever" to represent the bond that the three of us will always share.

Semper Fi!

USMC tattoo & its story

Sgt. Grunt,

I’ve attached a picture of my USMC tattoo I created with the help of Scott @ a tattoo shop in Chaska, MN. I was active duty from 1978 through 1982 and attached to HMM-262 based in Kaneohe, HI. I chose the EG&A along with the blue oceans because I wasn’t in HI for 6 months before departing on my first West Pac cruise aboard the USS New Orleans. Less than 18 months later I was on my second West Pac cruise aboard the USS Okinawa. It was a great adventure for a 19 year old kid to earn his Crew Chief wings and be able to fly over and throughout HI, the Philippines, Africa, Australia, Japan and even landed on Diego Garcia! The initiative and discipline I learned as a Marine has carried me successfully through two college degrees, multiple highlights and some tough life-lessons.

Semper Fi to my father and brother, both former Marines and all other readers of Sgt. Grit!

USMC tat

This is my "moto" tattoo, me and another marine in my barracks became good friends, she was moving on to her C school and we wanted to get "moto" tats. All the tattoo shops around Pensacola are very familiar with moto tats, but none were feminine enough, so we both came up with this design on our own. We wanted something that said hey, we are women, but that doesnt mean we can't still kick your ass!! OORAH AIRCREW

Devil Dog tattoo

This is part of the moto tat sleeve that I am working on. I played on the saying "Heaven won't take us and Hell is afraid that we will take over." This tat is only two weeks old and is still healing. The Devil Dog is standing on a pile of skulls and he is on fire. He is also holding the Devils head in one hand and a 249 SAW in the other. More to come.

EGA tattoo

I am currently in the process of getting my left arm sleeved with all Marine Corp moto tats. This EGA is my latest addition. I will take more pics soon.
