Military Tattoo Designs



Show Your Love For the Country
The members of the armed forces and other military men use tattoos to remind them of their struggles during war. Some military tattoo designs have been inscribed on these valiant men to symbolize brotherhood among comrades. Civilians who have loved ones who perished during military missions also use tattoos to honor their memories.

The first people who brought the concept of tattooing were sailors who came back from their trips. In fact the oldest and most recognized form of military tattoo is the anchor and nautical stars. Other designs for military tattoo include flags and eagles. These two can be combined with imprints of names of loved ones. The Air Force tattoos have wings on their designs and the army men sport a lot of POW-MIA-themed images.

Whether you are still in service, retired, or another patriot who wants to show love for country, you can have any military design inked on you. There are online tattoo galleries where you can get ideas for a design.  You can browse on actual tattoos on different body parts so you can have an idea on what you might want to use for yourself. You can have the images enlarged and printed so that you can bring the copy to the professional tattoo artist.

In the armed services, there are rules and regulations on military tattoo designs. The soldiers should wear tattoos that can be hidden under shirtsleeves. There shouldn't be any tattoo that is visible on the head or neck too. For regular Joes, there are no rules. You can use the military design of your choice where you want it.

Tattoo Designs - A World Wide Trend


Have you noticed that it seems that every second person these days is proudly showing their tattoos. You have the traditional older guys who have been wearing tattoos for ages as well as young women and men who have just started on their 'tattoo collection'. The trend seems to be growing so rapidly that new Tattoo Parlours are opening up almost on a daily basis. It would be fair to say that today tattoos are more popular than during the Second World War years when tattoos became the fashion amongst the armed services.
While it is just great seeing so many people wearing tattoos, particularly the young tattoo devotees, it is important that the potential wearer gives the subject some serious thought. It is imperative that if you are considering getting a tattoo that you take your time and put some serious thought into which tattoo design you are going to choose and, importantly, where you intend to put the tattoo.
A tattoo will become a permanent feature on your body so you must make absolutely sure that you choose tattoo designs that are going to look good and suit your own particular lifestyle and beliefs. You are going to have to be satisfied with your design and not get bored with it in the future.
Where Do You Source Tattoo Ideas?
There are simply so many different tattoo design options available that it would be impossible to catalog every one. You can either choose to go with one that has already been created, or you can literally start from scratch and design your very own tattoo. The majority of tattoo studios even allow you to work one-on-one with the tattoo artist so that together you can create the perfect design for you.
In my opinion creating your own individual design is the best option because what you end up having etched on your body will be personalized with a particular significance and meaning to you. You will also be less likely to tire of it in the future compared to a tattoo that has no particular significance other than you thought it was 'cool' when you had the tattoo done.
If, however, you are more interested in finding a design that has already been created, then you have unlimited options as there are literally tens of thousands of fantastic websites that you can visit and browse through their galleries until you find a tattoo design that you fall in love with.
One top website devoted to creative tattoo designs is Tattoo Johnny. Their gallery feature some of the world's most popular and inspiring designs. One of the best features of Tattoo Johnny's website is it allows you to pay for your chosen designs and print them off in full size. You can then head off to your local tattoo studio where they can use that exact print to produce your tattoo. This means that you will be getting exactly what you want and know what it is going to look like before you even venture into the tattoo studio.
Another brilliant online tattoo shop is the Bullseye Tattoo Company. They are universally regarded as having an incredibly large and varied selection of tattoo designs available for purchase and download. Again you can visit their website where you can browse through literally thousands of original tattoo designs from a compilation of different well known and creative artists and then buy and print off the ones that you like best.
So if you are looking to get a tattoo please think long and hard about the tattoo design you want and a word of warning, never get a tattoo unless you are one hundred percent sure that you will love your chosen one forever.
