I know we have had a lot of different discussions about tattoos and whatnot here on RallyPoint and as someone with several pieces of art forever part of my body, I have fun reading up on different topics concerning tattoos.
Anyways, so today I was reading up about the Falcon's Linebacker Tyler Starr who has a tattoo of the Medal of Honor on his right arm. He says he got it to remember the service by his grandfather and father. Both men did serve but neither were awarded the MoH. Starr claims to have "tweaked" the tattoo as so not to look exactly like the medal but it does look really close to the Army MoH.
So my question to the RP community is this. Is this a good way to remember the service of his family members or was this a bad decision in picking a tattoo?

He is, of course, free to have what he want as a tattoo, but I do think he could have picked something more appropriate and applicable. Just my two cents.

I think because his grandfathers name is part of the tattoo it's more obvious that it's a memorial tribute.
That being said, I don't think it's a very well done tattoo...

I agree with you LT Jessica Kellogg the quality of the work isn't all that great. I've been lucky enough to be tattooed by some amazing artists include Tim Hendrix from the Wooster Street Social Club in New York City. I'm not sure who did the work on his arm but I would not be happy with it.
