Some of you may know I don't much care for the over use and abuse of SWAT by LE agencies. A good friend has run a lot of high profile raids in Oklahoma and is doing quite a bit of SWAT training to boot.
Here's a tattoo the boy got: 
I pissed him off telling it didn't amount to much. That it didn't compare to the Ranger tab he has on his arm from the 2nd Batt. That kind of cooled him down a bit. 
So how many of you SWAT Rambos out there have something like this on your body?

That an MP5 tattoo on the right? Here's the tatt you asked about. 
The images are ones he had taken by someone other than me. He is a damn good friend, several years younger than me, but very close. He counts on me and I can count on him, no matter what. But we still give each other lots of shit.

rotator cuff surgery?? Yeah, in the service with the Ranger 2nd Batt. Over 150 jumps, including Panama and Desert Storm. About 17 of those prior to the main hostilities starting in Desert Storm. He's torn both rotor cuffs, had both shoulders opened up. Something else we both have in common. He got discharged with a service connected disability. I kid him telling him he doesn't even amount to a wannabe. He's a use- to-be.

So, pato has admitted to having a SWAT tattoo. did he now. Unit tattoo Thanks for the correction! 
I was kind of hoping some of the young ninja Rambo SWAT members that have been jumping my ass in other threads would show up and tell us about their tatts if they have any.

Here he is in a training pic.

Body armor would be nice too. train as you fight, fight as you train. pato |

Someone remind me what the point of this thread is? Basically SWAT members and their tattoos. Any thread drift is all right by me if not too far off the subject. So, pato has admitted to having a SWAT tattoo. Anybody else? Negative, sir. I admitted to being on a SWAT team and having a tattoo. The two are not related. The tattoo preceeded SWAT. pato |

It cracks me up when the "moms basement commando's make fun of the cops or swat members." They would probably piss in their 5.11 cargo pants their moms just ironed if they would have to face the inner city situations these guys face..Just my thought. My dad is retired from law enforcement. He has been shot, stabbed, bit, multiple surgeries, many fights, many court cases. When I was 12 a murderer that had recieved a life sentance escaped from prison. One of my neighbors saw him with a shotgun and phoned local police. My dad brought a loaded shotgun into my room and told me to shoot anyone in the house that dont belong. I slept with that shotgun beside the bed until he was later captured in Florida. |

Swat.....YES
Swat tat....No. I dunno about that one with the outline of the state behind it. Kinda funky. The other one appears well done, and is the Center Mass, Inc. operator logo. Its a pin lots of departments authorize for wear on the dress uniforms of SWAT team members. |

Piss poor picture, who really cares? His experience as an instructor and in the real world, would top most everyone here. Not that I like what he does as SWAT.

LoL This thread will turn into a bunch of 400lbers that still live with their mom calling your buddy a poser. Lots of those who wear black BDUs, body armor, helmuts, carry FA weapons, and break down doors in the middle of the night are notoriously lacking in this thread. They damn sure come out in droves when someone starts a thread about a SWAT f*ck up. Where are you black suited ninja Rambo types?
Afraid to show your tatts?

Its a pin lots of departments authorize for wear on the dress uniforms of SWAT team members. He likes them. That's all that counts really. Tattoo parlors were illegal in Oklahoma until a year or so ago. I don't think Oklahoma has the "artisans" so many other states do. Of course, he may have gotten it done by another cop with a part time job. Couldn't pass up the good deal and discount!

Someday we will be real old if we do it right. Seen tats on a real old dude? Kinda sad. I choose no ink myself. I'm kinda old now. I like to surf fish, don't need to tell every dick head on the beach behind me that I'm a cop. To each his own. I'm not much on tatts. Looks like a poor investment to me. $70 to $100 to have it put on, then $3000 or more to have it lasered off some years later for whatever reason. But I have seen him talk to a whole lot of Rangers over the years as we did things together. They recognized him by his Ranger tab tattoo. And some of them were WWII vets.
And those conversations have happened in the strangest places.

Anyone else notice how closely that other tat resembles a budweiser?

Is there any truth to tats and a small penis? Only those that get SWAT tats oohhh.....burn
I think its pretty cool. No one, even the owner/wearer probably never even sees his tat so, whatever. If he is proud of what he does more power to him. The eagle with the MP5 is a little ostentatious to me but it does look cool. |
