Sabers = Symbolises my MOS, Cav Scout (19D)
Skull = Symbolises my friends that are no longer here
Black Beret = Symbolises my branch (Army)

Eventually I will add some scroll work with OIF 1&2, OIF 5&6 with dates around/under it.

Now before you tree hugging hippies open your mouths, I tried to get crossed oil drums with the words steal printed on them with a dead baby on the front with the words USA under it to make you all happy.... but that was already taken by Bush Jr.

Just kidding. Smile!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334936/2250148.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334936/2250148.page GMT New Body Art

I like the dead baby idea too, I got a tattoo of me throwing a live pig that I had dressed in lingerie into an orphanage.

And the pig had tattoo's as well.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334936/2252470.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334936/2252470.page GMT New Body Art

If I wanted to do this true scale, I would have needed to put this on either my back or my chest. And hell to the no, I am NOT a glorified infantrymen (ranger). Why go to Ranger school when I get access to nearly the same schooling and equipment (plus some mos specific stuff) that they do and not have to deal with the mongo mentality?
Sadly, being a ranger ain't what it used to be. The only reason to go anymore is so you can get that shiny ranger tab and attempt to gloat over everyone else.

As for beret colors:

Black=army
Tan= Ranger
Red= Airborne
Green= Explains itself
Stetson= Cav
(didn't go with this option cause I could not find a design that I liked)

Hope this helps clear a few things up. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334936/2256884.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334936/2256884.page GMT Re:New Body Art

It wasn't really something the guys I served with "gloated" about. However, I was in Cco, 3/7 SFG (A), so the thought process might be a bit different, as for having the same system as our friends across the pond, well yeah, however we did have one of thier former SAS in our unit, hardcore as hell and taught us rugby .

these days the entire army wears black berets, rangers wear tan.

And being ranger tabbed is still something to be proud of, its not a walk in the park, although its much more common nowadays.

Anyway, sweet ink, although I'm disappointed that you didn't go for the stetson and spurs...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334936/2258504.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/334936/2258504.page GMT New Body Art
