The Changing Face of Navy Tattoos
The newspaper for the Kings Bay Submarine Base in Georgia offers an inside look into Navy tattoo culture. While tattoos have become increasingly mainstream, they're also remaining popular with groups traditionally associated with them. What's interesting is that while sailor's keep getting tattooed, they're often choosing to go with more individual designs instead of the boats and American flags of the past. And as tattoo artist and retired chief petty officer Ken Knight points out, sailors are also getting just as many tribal designs and barbed wire circlets as everyone else in the country.
