help with a military tattoo

[Great-Kazoo]

Mind you this is just one guys opinion and it's worth exactly what you paid for it but here it goes;

That particular image is very poignant to people who have stood in formations where that very set up is representative of fallen friends. I know several guys that have the same image along the names, initials or dates. It's not just a symbol to a lot of folks. It's the last representation they had of friends. If you haven't stood in those formations, I think it would be an inappropriate tattoo.

But like I said, that's just my opinion.

These are my sentiments as well. Ive typed out several different replies to this and had to start over. I will just leave it at that.

While this is you guys "opinion" following that train of thought all those folks i put POW / MIA ink on should not have done it. Honoring our fallen is done in many ways. I would suggest, as i did previously. The son get some lettering along these lines. It shows respect and acknowledges his appreciation for this Country and it's fallen

In memory of Those who served

They Sacrificed
So We can Enjoy freedom

Having just the Boots & M-16 would lead me to believe as a veteran, he served. That alone could cause issues, maybe, maybe not. Depends who he runs in to.
