Lets discuss the subject of tattoos. A lot of soldiers, especially marines, like to rock the USMC tattoo. However, most soldiers get tattoo's of American flags, eagles, or Bible verses. My story of getting a tat is pretty interesting. One day at the ripe age of 23, fresh out of OTS(Officer Training School), i decided to get a large eagle tattooed on my back with its talons ripping through my skin. I thought it sounded like a cool idea, and I didn't have a wife at the time to stop me. So I went to the tattoo parlor and showed the artist a picture of what i wanted. As the three-hundred heavily tattooed monster proceeded to wipe down my upper back with disinfectant, I realized something. What if at my old age i gained as much weight as the big guy about to draw on me. Then i would just be a fat tattooed guy also. Therefore at the last minute I decided to change my decision to a small Bible verse on my chest, Genesis 3:18. I was so happy that I did not go through with the large scary eagle, and if you plan on getting a tattoo to represent your country or faith. Think twice before you come down to a final decision.
