Hey all.

My name is Fred. I love tattoos. I believe everyone should get atleast one tattoo that reflects something or someo e in their life that had a major impact on them.

Some stuff about me:

I’m 21 years old. Ima guy.
I leave for Basic Training to be a Mechanic for the U.S Army in March.
I have 4 tattoos. I want alot more. Currently I’m looking at getting a sugar skull on my hand like my brother because even we both had VERY hard lives ( I mean really bad, fighting, broken home, Compton has nothing on where we grew up in Florida ) and because of that we became stronger as a family. My brother is tattooed from legs up and he has tattoos I like alot. I want the sugar skull because to him it means family, and sticking together and I want to honor him that way. I also want a rose like the artist Redllight ( he sings alot of songs that relate to family that we grew up with ) I also want a diamond behind the ear to show the world that I am indestructible and will come out on top of anything.

Welcome. The US military has some strange rules relating to to tattoos, it maybe worth checking them out (if you haven’t) as a number of the forces don’t permit tattoos to be showing when in a PT uniform.

Welcome to the forum Fred.

I think the army might have something to say about you getting a tattoo on your hand though.

Haha, yeah the training has become alot more political so they cant be as harsh as they were back when my father and grandfather were in. Thanks!
