Winston Churchill supposedly had an anchor tattooed on a forearm. James Polk and Andrew Jackson too...
Scumbags following a fad. All of them... /P-Marlow
My son has a tat that says, “Type 1 diabetic” and my nephew just got one that says the same thing with a sparrow. My daughter has a series of ribbons for the diseases that have hurt all of her family members.
The one’s that break my heart are the ‘meat tags’ - a tat of dog tags high up on the ribs (under the arm) with the soldier’s name, DOB and blood type for body identification when they deploy. I’ve been told that it’s a strange comfort, knowing that you WILL be found and you WILL be sent back to your family - even if it’s in pieces.
Since the war began, many of the wives that I know have had their husband’s name tatted when he deploys. Just trying to keep him close.
