American Flag Tattoo Designs

American Flag Tattoo Designs

American flag tattoos can be as diverse as the many ways to display the flag. Some people choose to get a very proper and military version of the flag tattooed on their body, while others choose a more stylized tat. Enthusiasts of particular parts of American history may choose to get American flag tattoos of the version of the flag that was flown at that point, such as the versions from the Revolutionary or Civil Wars.Some choose to have their flag tattoos look as if they were a copy of a flying flag, while others prefer the still versions that are usually seen as patches on military uniforms. Still others choose to accent their American flag tattoos with other imagery - eagles  and crosses are popular additions. Flags are often included in memorial tattoos as well. Still others choose to have the American flag tattooed on their bodies along with the flag of their homeland, especially those who immigrated to the US from European countries.

Many flag tattoos were inked on individuals after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center. People chose to get these tattoos for a variety of reasons - closure, the loss of a loved one, or belief in the strength of the United States and camaraderie. These tattoos commonly show the image of the WTC silhouetted on the flag as well.
