Has your military experience inspired you to get a tattoo?

For sure, my time in the military definitely influenced my decision to get a tattoo. There’s something about the shared experiences and the bond with those you served with that makes certain symbols or moments feel worth carrying with you. I ended up getting a small one that represents a milestone I went through, something that keeps those memories alive. It’s personal, and it’s a good reminder of what I’ve been through.

Took on GI Joe defending the weather dominator. I was the last survivor. Lol

RallyPoint Team: I have always wanted to acquire a Rose tattoo; for my shoulder.

I got all of mine before the army.

Yes, this one got one while stationed at Fort Lost in the Woods in 1983. This one was the one who greeted you in the Reception Station when you first got off that bus from across our Republic to go through basic training.

Had this tattoo done three years ago when I got my test results back from my DNA test that tested my Y-DNA111 and the Family Finder test with Family Tree DNA.

They showed that I am 100% Northwestern European mainly out of the British Isles and 0% Non-European. Not ashamed of who my people were, are and what we shall become.

9% Metal Age Invader, 45% Farmer, 46% Hunter-Gatherer and 0% non-European. Family is mainly out of the Highlands and the Borderlands of Scotland.

Leviticus 19:28, "Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD." I know someone who had this verse tattooed on his arm. Oy veh.

No. I couldn't put something permanent on me. I like things to change up way too much. Maybe it is A.D.D.

No, my life experiences have inspired me to get my tattoos. The military is but a piece of the pie in which I call my life.

I am one of the 64%. Never tempted to get a tat; don't see the purpose.

It didn't-Almost got one after graduating Infantry AIT at Ft Benning in 1978 but the fella at the parlor won't tattoo us, said we were too drunk-Now glad didn't go through with it!!
