My question is, does this tattoo (Badass Eagle flexing) have any military background or anything like that?  I'd hate to get this tattoo and then find out I was disrespecting our fine soldiers.

Also, does anybody have any pictures of a similar one to this?

You American? If so then this tattoo should be fine, doenst appear military, just a ripped bald eagle and American flag.




ETA: You might want to skip the blood-shot coke head eyes on the eagle though

Why would you want the exact same tattoo that someone else already has?

Are you a woman or something?

The fact that he's using it to cover up another shitty tattoo should be a lesson here.

Id say 98% of people who get tattoos get something from the flash art they have in the shops, let him get that tattoo he wants.

ETA I will bet you all right now an AR15 that I have the exact same tattoo as someone else in this room

That's not coke head eyes - that's rage.

I don't want that exact one, I think it looks too cartoony, I just like the concept.

Oh he can get whatever tattoo he wants.

I'm also free to say it's stupid to get flash off the wall, or to copy a tattoo you've seen on someone else.

Tattoos are supposed to be about individuality and personal meaning... not about "hey that looks cool, let me get that permanently inked onto my body so I can be just like the other 500 people who have it!"

At least that's my opinion.

That's funny you mention this.  I just had this discussion with my tattoo artist when I got my AAC tattoo for a free can, because it's the ONLY tattoo I EVER got for a reason - well 'cept the military ones.  The rest I got because I was drunk and thought they were cool.  FWIW, most were original designs though.  

BTW - if I ever find you - can I have a sammich
?

A design I drew up when I was in the USMC.

It's the only one I have because I haven't thought of something significant enough to warrant getting another.

Dang, that eagle's brachioradialis is flippin' jacked up.

Now, everyone sees the irony in doing something millions of other people do for the purpose of being different.  But sometimes a tattoo is just a tattoo.  And sometimes people just want a tattoo.  I don't ... but I'm not gonna hate on you because you're copying some other dude.
