Ok so make me understand. Why put a memorial on your body? Is that your way of proving to yourself that you really miss him? Why not a picture of you and him in your house together?
I could actually see more the reasoning behind your tattoo. Not that you care what I think.
And you are right I shouldnt categorize everyone. But I bet its like 80% like that.
Navy Seal, USMC, stuff like that I can definitely get it. Being proud of being a part of something. A small tat here or there.
And I do apologize if I offended you for my insensitivity and I appreciate your service.
