I did a tour as admin support at SOCEUR and if some 1/10th guy had that tattoo on him, every Green Beret I met there would have laughed their asses off at him….
Yeah they do. There were definitely some motards I worked with in Iraq... But by and large, great group of guys.
We did some QRF for them in '06 - and for the most part, some of the most professional, laid back guys I ever worked with. We'd run some ranges together. Was a fun couple months.
Don't worry, you're barely gonna be able to tell what the hell this even is in two weeks when it's healed because it is an absolute mess technically. In five years? Forget about it.
They’re definitely not special forces, I highly doubt they’re even in the military. I wasn’t able to screenshot all of the tattoo because of how the video showed it, but there’s also a green beret on it
Technically this one is in regs. It’s a tattoo on the guys chest, so it’s not in a location it’s not allowed in, and technically it’s not technically anything bad that could get him in trouble. I’m not trying to defend the tattoo, because it’s bad, but it’s allowed
He’s quoting a song about a memorial tattoo for a guy who lost his father. Yeah, there’s some cringe here but I won’t fault someone for how they remember their dad.
Yeah... disagree. The entire tattoo screams "look at me. Special Forces raised me and taught me bravery." Sure, he can explain it away with a sob story if asked... but he knew what he was doing when he got this.
Yeah, I met a friend of a friend who had the special forces patch tattooed on his forearm and I went up to him and asked him “is that what I think it is?” Trying to strike up a conversation about it, I figured it was legit because my buddy had known him for like his entire life, and his response when I asked him about it was “yeah it’s for my brother he died over there” and I was like damn, I just wanted to hear some cool stories sorry to run the mood man.
The only SF tattoo I ever saw was on a SF dude's wife. The SF dude in question was covered in tattoos, but not a single one was military related. A lot of skulls, crosses, scripture. The hardcore ones have a deep rooted sense of righteousness, deeper than their uniform or crest.
You haven't been around many GBs then. I was stationed in Dahlonega.. We had loads of RIs with long tabs as well as Rangerbtabs and scrolls tatt'd on their shoulders and chests.
We had a mix of "look at me" types and guys who just didnt care to make themselves stand out at all.
I'm getting the feeling that this is to honor his father. Don't know a lot of SOF community guys who would get something this obnoxious, but I assume they exist
Now I don’t know shit about fuck, so take this with a grain of salt. But the SF dudes on my FOB in Iraq many many years ago would NEVER do something like this. Especially if active. Makes me wonder if he’s one of those dudes who got a cool detail where they worked kinda sorta with SF downrange enough to “earn” the arrowhead patch?
Could be stolen valor
Could be a dude who got conveniently medboarded after passing selection
Could be a real shit SF guy that just made a terrible decision lol

No way that tat is on a real green beret, that shit screams storm valor crazy person.
Even SF has some booger eaters.

It looks terribly done; like “first day on the job” quality

It looks like a tattoo of one of those vanity license plates you get at a flea market and you see them mostly in the trailer park
Oh, they are “special” force for sure.

One of the biggest morons I knew from the military was a 18b.

With a massive chest piece that looks like shit is insane

0% of the SF guys I’ve known…and I’ve known quite a few, would ever get that fucking tattoo.
Big stolen valor vibes
Dont know much about this subject but a John Wick toe tag tattoo would go nice with the theme.
I'm guessing the rose tattoo is somewhere else?
Fuck it 5TH GROUP MENTIONED 🦅🗡️🪂
Not even a rose tattoo...
Those bolts..... Yikes.
I mean if your legit fuck it bro ya earned it.
