Remembrance takes many forms and means something different to everyone. It’s a deeply personal act, often recognising a range of sacrifices.
Often the tattoos worn by people in our Armed Forces are more than body art. They are deeply personal, unconventional acts.
Being part of the military is more than just a job. When joining a unit, they become part of a larger family with its own history and traditions.
Whilst serving, there may be hardship and loss, but also times of happiness. Many military tattoos commemorate these events.
