    Given the current state of affairs in this country, you better have it tattooed upside down. (Distress signal)

    I guess I'm a little confused on this whole "disrespectful" thing. What is disrespectful about getting a tattoo showing your pride and love for your country? Someone please shed some light on this for me.

    Cause they either do not care for tattoos. Or do not comprehend there is more than one way to show your patriotism, Besides flying a torn, tattered US flag on your property.

    FWIW" That 1/2 ass flag sticker looking thing. If you came to me and said this is exactly what i want, I'd pass you off to one of the apprentices.

    My main concern was disrespect to current and ex military. I dont want to seem like a poser or anything. I dont know its hard to explain.
    My EDC: Handcuffs, Bandana, and Ball Gag.

    If I'm ever at a party and the cops come to arrest people. Ill blindfold myself, throw the ball gag in, handcuff my hands, and hide in a closet. Police never arrest hostages!

    Active and retired military are not the only Americans.

    Default Thoughts on American Flag tattoo

    The flag being backwards isn't so much about the stars being forward. It's more that the stars should always be the closet to the heart. Hence why patches, etc are backwards on the right.
