Air Force Tribal Tattoos- The Honor of Air Force Soldiers

by admin on June 3, 2008

Air force tribal tattoos these days have come to be considered as one of the most patriotic acts by the air force soldiers. The tribal tattoos come in various designs, forms and colors. The tattoos used by the air force soldiers are more often than not one of these tribal designs.

Air Force Tribal TattoosThe tribal tattoos were first discovered with some tribesmen dancing around a campfire. When a charred rod touched their skin, it left marks. The tribes considered this to be a blessing of sun god. To be blessed by the sun obviously meant that these people were very courageous. The same logic perhaps follows when air force soldiers sport various tattoos. Indeed these are the courageous men who have devoted their lives to the service of the nation.

The general representations are that of the fallen soldier’s cross or a battlefield cross. Along with these, often skull tattoos with swords and crosses are found. This simply symbolizes devotion to the job, acceptance of the challenges and the brave soldierly spirit. At times, the tattoos sport scenes of fallen troops, death and devastation. These could go on to mean either the bravery of the soldiers or the sacrifice of their friends, family and close people. Air force tribal tattoo also reminds of the loss incurred during wars, death of loved one and so on. However, it is tough to find a single tattoo representing all these at a go.

As they say, pictures indeed speak. So, interpret the air force tribal tattoos in your own way!

Why do the air force soldiers have to have tattoos on their shoulders or any part of there body. I think this is not right because if one day you need to donate you will not be able to because your blood has poision. Instead of tattooing you should get an award or something else. Even though you guys work hard to help the states. THANKS ALOT !!!!!!! I hope we will be able to communicate again. Oh and one more thing can you tell me facts about the air force? What does it feel or felt to be in the air force?

what are you talking about giving blood. Thanks for your support but I have two tattoos and have given blood. You can’t give blood for only so many days after a tattoo. Going to iraq is worse. i couldn’t give blood for even longer than after getting my tattoo.

No soldier HAS to have a tattoo.. they do it because they want to..

Tattoos dont just “look cool”. To many, they have very deep sentimental value, an amotional connection that they hope will stay with them til their grave.

Im currently enlisting in the AF and plan on going to BMT within the next 2 months. Im already looking at tattoo designs for the AF. Frankly, I cant wait to get my ‘badge.’

I am the wife of a USAF disabled veteran. My husband served during the Gulf War era and I am very grateful to him and to all who take on this selfless way of life. My husband has been medically retired since 1997 and has just started to think about getting a tatoo…the soldiers cross aka battlefield cross. It is a sentiment to him in many ways. I support his decision in getting the tattoo because it is something that is done in remembrance of service given by all members of the military. This is a tag he will wear for the rest of his life.
