Military tattoos make a strong statement, the military tattoo design is very popular and has many meanings and symbolism often unique to the individual.

The most important symbol of military tattoos is patriotism. It also symbolizes nationalism and national fervor. Military tattoo designs are generally made by people to keep alive their military spirit even after the end of their service. Sometimes, military tattoos are also made by people to form a permanent memorial of any particular operation in which they had participated. On the other hand, sometimes tattoos are made as a memory of loved ones that perished in the war. Most of the times, it is observed that according to the rules and regulations of the military, those in active service may not be permitted to sport a tattoo. Therefore, tattoo designs are seen by ex-servicemen.

In America, soldiers from the Civil War era, through the First and Second World Wars and Korea, Vietnam, and now Iraq, have all acquired tattoos as an integral apart of their military experience. Today, millions upon millions of Americans — from those serving active duty in the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines, to reservists and war vets — wear a tattoo as a permanent sign of that military spirit.
