Looking for advice for a tattoo to finish up my right "Military themed" sleeve. I have red, white, and blue flames from my wrist up the forearm, an oldschool pineapple grenade surrounded by olive branches on my elbow and now I need a med. size tatt for the bend of my elbow. Any ideas? Im going to fill in the space between the flames with grey wash smoke, stars, spent rounds etc. so that the flames stand out against the black and grey work but Im drawing a blank for the bend of my arm.

I like that Uncle Sam! Thanks!

Ive also been thinking about doing something similiar to the 5FDP gas mask/skull with a legit gasmask instead of the one they have.

maybe something about were you were, or what kinde of stuff you did? Or maybe something that realy touched you in the warzone.

hard sparring session is like a cold shower in a warm day. It feels good.

How about the reason you've fought? The Constitution seems like a nice neutral piece, and I bet almost zero military folk have it.

Thats a great idea, thanks, but the area that I am wanting to cover at the moment is too small for alot of script. I like to do script rather large so it keeps its shape over time. Sounds like a good piece for the future though, maybe on the ribs.

Well, I was pretty much going to say what Lion said. But just an idea for once you pick it, maybe have a short quote or word incorporated into the tattoo that's meaningful.

That Abe picture is crazy! Maybe without the bear though. I dont really have enough room for it.
