Marine Tattoos

Tattoo shops make a killing on military bases. As soon as a soldier gets back from Iraq they usually get a visit. The variations of tattoos they receive are patriotic flags, tattoos in memory of fallen friends, or the weapon they used.


The bulldog is a popular U.S Marine Corps tattoo. They are known as the bulldog because of the respect from their foes. German soldiers referred to the marines as “devil dogs” because of their hellacious fighting skills.























The most popular fallen soldier tattoo is a M-4 rifle planted in a pair of boots and topped with a Kevlar helmet.























Another popular tattoo for marines to get is a meat tag on the ribs so their bodies can be easily identified. A meat tag has information about the soldier such as their social security number, religion, and blood type just in case when they are killed their limbs are blown off. Usually ribs stay intact.
