Military Tattoo Designs - Find Out About the Best Designs
Articles By Michael Trott

Are you considering getting a military tattoo design? Before rushing to a shop and getting tattooed, there are some things that you ought to know before you get one.

Historic and Modern, these are the two basic types of military tattoo designs. Historic designs are those that usually contain mottos and logos representing the most well-known fighters and veterans in history. Modern designs, on the other hand, are artwork devices that represent various divisions of the armed forces.

There is a restriction, though, for those who want to get a design representing a particular division in the military, but have never served in that division at all. By doing so, those who have worked in the division may be insulted.

If you are part of the military personnel, you have to make sure that design you choose is in line with the codes imposed by your particular branch. You can place your design in your upper arm so you can just hide it with your uniform when on duty.

One of the most-worn military tattoo designs is the "Screaming Eagle" device which is used by airborne soldiers. Although it is mostly associated with sailors, its popularity has been vastly expanded throughout the military branches. The Anchor is also one of the well-known designs worn by people who serve and who have served in the Navy. Army, marines and air force use the signature military tattoo design consisting of an American Flag and an Eagle.

Getting military tattoo designs does not only symbolize your toughness and bravery. What's most special in getting one is your dedication to your service, and your patriotism and love for your country.
