Proud Mom Tattoo

SGT. Grit,

I just though I would share with you my tattoo that I received a short time ago. I wanted something symbolic of a Marine Mom. So here it is. It is just about healed now and am very proud to show it off. Semper Fi

In Loving Memory

My mother MGSGT Deborah A. Muzzy served in the United States Marine Corps for most of my life she live from 1953-1993 she retired out of the Marine Corps in 1993 as a MGSGT she serve in the first gulf war in the 8th Communications Battalion. She was the mother of two. She was much loved by all of those around her and all of those to whom entered her life this tattoo is to commemorate her and the life she loved so much in the Marine Corps.

In Loving memory of MGSGT Deborah A. Muzzy

Marine Fireman

Wanted to share this with all my fellow Bro's. I'm a grunt 1/3 Charlie 2nd Plt from K-Bay 82-86. Awhile after getting out I got into the fire service, It took me 6 long years to get hired (very competitive) I wanted to get a Marine / Fire Dept. tat when I got hired into a large Dept. I'm a truckie (ladder guy) on ladder 204 in Mesa AZ. Thx to Steve at virtual reality tattoo in Gilbert he custom drew this for me. The EGA tearing from my skin means the Corps always being a part of who I am, The Fireman's Maltese Cross being branded into my skin represents the loyalty to my brothers and sisters in the fire service and being baptized by fire. Both of these together is true Patriotism, honoring the freedoms of this wonderful country and what our Stars and Stripes represent being UNCOMMON VALOR.

It was a work in progress for awhile till I was ready to pull the trigger and have it done, when the world stopped and watched as we were attacked on September 11th, 2001. 343 of my fellow Brothers and Sisters died that day and I knew that my fellow Marines were going to combat soon. I couldn't think of a more appropriate time to get this tribute in living canvass done than the next day at 0900 to honor my fellow Marines and Firefighter's.

NEVER FORGET! Semper Fi to you all.

Swamp Bitch 03/11/24

Hi, it's Cpl Harriger here.

One of my friends in my unit drew this tattoo himself. I originally only had the USMC, but felt that more needed to be added. He has his own tattoo parlor in NY, called Chris Tattoos. He's done mine, and 8 other guys in my unit here at MCB Quantico, VA Track Vehicle Platoon, all original works of art. We nicknamed it Swamp Bitch, for those of you that can't really tell.

He is wearing a boonie cover with branches attached to it, the lines leading from his eyes is supposed to resemble smoke to give a more possessed look to it, and yes, although you can't see all of it, he is biting down onto a trusty k-bar, which gives a somewhat tribal appeal to it as well.

Oh RAH! And Semper Fi!

Blood Stripe and Semper Fi

One tattoo is of a BloodStripe down the side of my leg. I got it done in Okinawa in Sept. 2002. The other is "Semper Fidelis" on my right ribcage, done in Jan 2002 while I was in Guam. Not the greatest pics but I just wanted to share my pride like everyone else.

Semper Fidelis, Sgt Esclamado
