They are common amongst our heroes fallen and coming home. Tattoo's have made their mark since back in the stone age and have become common place amongst soldiers, prisoners, young teens and almost all demographics have thought about a tattoo or they have one.
So are tattoo's comfort for pain for our soldiers in Iraq? Well I think so. They are getting a tattoo before they enter the war and when they come home they get another tattoo that is totally opposite of the first tattoo. War changes a person and in turn they express those changes they have went through with a new, well thought out tattoo.
The new soldiers tattoo could be of a fallen soldiers name, a picture of the Devil or the sleeve tattoo which symbolizes to the soldiers their struggle to come to grips with the war. Some tattoo artist's have said that some of the nearby Marines close to their shop have asked for a Death Dealer. The Death Dealer is a skeleton holding the ace of spades this relates to them ready to go to war and them being ready to kill.
You know when you think about all of this with the tattoo's and war time they both seem to go together. Every time a soldier enters the military that soldier will get a tattoo in most cases of his branch of service. So if the soldier is a Marine then they will get a tattoo related to their service in the Military.
