My wife's grandpa served in the Navy during WWII. He was only 16, but he lied about his age to get in the service. Total bad*ss.
Anyway, he had a sweet tattoo on his forearm. It was a Navy emblem with a big anchor and an eagle.
I want to get a tattoo just like that. And if anyone ever says, "oh, did you serve?" I'll say, "Nah. Just a big fan."
