The arm tattoo I wanted because I love skulls and of course the dagger with the eagle globe and anchor was a symbol of my service. I wanted both to be together so made it look like the skull was blasted with the dagger.

A few year later he had some laser tattoo removal sessions to lighten the double tattoo. In the meantime, him and San Diego tattoo artist (IG: @terryribera) sat down and planned the tattoo out. "He actually texted me a few weeks later before the first appointment and had changed the design to something more in your face and dynamic. I was in love with the design! At this point in my career I had been on 7 deployments and seen over 30 countries with just about 16-17 years in service. 3 sessions later I was so proud to wear this new ink from Terry that represents who I am. I fully believe that even long after the military I’ll still be a Marine and hold that true.”

Logan Sebela
"My grandfather served in WWII, and I always admired him for that. Like a lot of WWII vets, he came home with quite a few tattoos. As he explained, we never thought we’d make it home, so it didn’t matter how many tattoos we got. One that always caught my eye was a chain on his wrist. He had seen it as a kid in someone and it was the first one he got when he was drafted into the army. Fast forward to me joining the Navy in 1999. I asked him to help me recreate the tattoo, as it was badly faded. It was the first tattoo I got upon entering the Navy, and the one I’m most proud of. It was what always connected us and I was always honored to tell the story. He passed away last year at 99. While I miss him, the chain around my wrist keeps me connected to him and always reminds me of the sacrifices he made so that I could be here today."

He says it’s fitting for him being infantry walking into battle that it be on his leg facing the enemy. He also has Athena, goddess of war and wisdom on his rib cage.
Daniel Chavez
For Daniel, the skull at the top represents the infantry soldiers who gave their lives and are looking over the living soldiers while in battle and at home, which are the soldiers at the bottom. They also represent the brotherhood created while overseas and always having each other’s back. The background is the American flag which represents what they all fight/fought for and what they hold dear to their heart. As well as being a proud American. The "infantry" at the top just represents his job in the army and his pride for it.

James Kirpatrick
I was infantry in the Corps and Army so that’s my little hashtag😹 #0311B"
Chris Viola
"I served in the USMC infantry from 15-19 and these two tattoos are my perception my service going in and coming out. The fallen angle on the left was my very first tattoo ever. I got it cause I was hiding from my drill instructors on Sunday going to church and the way they compared us to fallen angels instead of Spartans really resonated with me. Little did I know I was gonna spend the next 4 yrs wanting a fight that never came. I had seniors and super seniors that were combat vets and I respected what they did and just wanted to be like them too. We always got told never wish for war and I understand why but war is like a right of passage to us too. Just like Vikings scared of not going to Valhalla, I found the realization of ending my service not fulfilling this right of passage depressing. Every time I was thanked for my service or congratulated on my hard work I felt guilty cause I didn’t feel I was the man Everyone else thought I was. it ate at me and that’s what inspired the second tattoo. Cause now a days the marines of my generation have a different form of pain that comes from this lack of service. Personally I’m still coping with these feelings that I feel a lot of dudes don’t talk about cause how do you about having it easy but I hope that anyone reading this if they feel the same opens up that line of conversation with their buddies or a total stranger like me cause non of us are alone my at is @chrisviola611"
Erick Krull
Erick left the Navy almost 20 years ago and had been thinking about getting a tattoo that encompassed that experience. So with the help of an amazing tattoo artist, they came up with this, the anchor of course is Navy all the way, the octopus is one of the strongest and smartest creatures in the sea, the Latin saying translates into “The Empire of King Neptune “ which is on our shellback certificate when you cross the equator adm is a tradition that goes back hundreds of years, the four stars are loved ones that he has lost because stars are what sailors used to guide them, these people were guiding stars in his life and he wanted to remember them this way.

His goal is to do my military sleeve with tattoo artists who were all former service members.

K.L.K (IG: @hautespartan)
"I have around 80hrs worth of tattoos on my body. All of it is in black and white. The only two images in color are the flag and a rose that symbolizes my mother.
Before my deployment I’ve asked all my loved ones without telling them why, “if you were an emoji or symbol what would you be.”
I went an got them all tattooed knowing that’s the only way I’ll be able to carry something of them with me everywhere I go.
The positioning of this specific part is directly under my elbow and it is perfectly legible if/when my arms are open to the side and parallel to the ground.
Same as “king Leonidas” had at the final scene of “300” right before his death. As he “accepted death” and never surrendered or retreated.
Now, in my civilian life... it’s actually a daily reminder that nothing is actually that difficult. After going toe to toe with the devil himself for 7 straight years my ink reminds me that it’s ok if my iced latte is not ready by the time I pull up to the store. Just as at the time the same ink reminded me why I cannot be late even for a fraction of a second."
Joseph Seher
"Army, 19kilo armor crewman ( Tanker )

It was a shock to all of us that knew and loved him and we’ve made it our mission to advocate for those struggling with PTS.

David La Cour
"My tattoos are a symbol of my time as a service member. It’s a reminder of the dark trials and victories I faced alongside my brothers and sisters in battle, and a memorial for those I lost out there as well. It’s also a reminder to me that, although i may not have came back the same person i once was, I can work each day to be better than before. I pride myself in helping other veterans see the same light at the end of the tunnel. If one of us is struggling, we’re all struggling, because I refuse to let anyone battle anything alone. I love my country and will continue to protect and fight for it until my last breath."

John McKnight (IG: @longislandjack)
John served from 2011 to 2015. Basic/AIT was at Fort Leonard Wood. Then he went to Airborne school at Fort Benning. "Soon after that I found myself at Fort Bragg in "The Nasty." Me, my wife and 6month old son moved into our new home on base August 2011. Things between me and my wife started to get really bad towards the end of 2011. By February 2012 CPS was involved because of my wife's erratic behavior and actions that put our son's life in danger multiple times. Me and my wife separated. She and our son stayed on base in our house and my Commander put my in the barracks. The day after our son turned one years old we had a court date on February 15th 2012. The judge ordered that our son be placed in foster care due to my wife's behavior. He could not give custody to me because I was staying in the barracks. For the next few months I was fighting for custody of my son. During this time I received a tremendous amount of help from my battle buddies in "The Nasty." I didn't even have a car because my wife had it. One of my best friends drove me to social services every Friday for my supervised visit with my son. The amount of stories and things that happened would take a long time to explain. The reason for this tattoo is because I am blessed and grateful to be a party of "The Nasty." So many battle buddies helped me out. In April 2012, I was able to afford my own place off base (I was no longer able to live on base because of my wife). A few weeks later I was awarded full custody of my son and my wife has not seen him since her last supervised visit March 2012. This tattoo is a constant reminder of how lucky I was to have the support of "The Nasty." They helped me out during the toughest moments of my life."
