Its been 10 years since I got out of the Marine Corps…I took my time figuring out how I wanted to remember my service with a tattoo…
This is a chest piece. Its on the left side of my chest and shoulder. This is after two sessions. I still have at least one more session to go for some final detailing and color! Its based off of a painting of Marines storming a German trenchline at the Battle of Belleau Wood in France, June 1 – 26, 1918…The tattoo is by Bruce Kaplan, the owner of Lark Tattoo in Westbury New York.

Quality work. Any more pics?
Well folks…after another bloody four hours, this one is finally finished. I’m going to wait a few days to post pictures so that the color can settle in and the swelling can go down.
I must say, of all my ink, and I have a lot, this was the most painful piece. The chest is just such a surprisingly sensitive area and there are so many nerves there. The artist would be hitting me on one spot and I would actually feel it on the other side of my chest. It also didn’t help that the piece is exceptionally large and detailed. There is a lot going on in this tattoo.
Anyway, stay tuned for pics!
