Kidding, don't have any. Came real Close in Jump school over a few 3.2 beers at the end of tower week. It seemed the whole platoon wanted to get jump wings tattooed. I almost pulled the trigger when something rational in my head said, "You'll be sober in the morning, in pain and you still have a few hundred pushups to do on a sore arm." So I didn't and they (tattoos) have long since lost their appeal; not to mention acquiring personal convictions against such things. The aesthetics bother me, not so much in execution as there is some fine ink out there, but scarring a body on purpose just doesn't seem right. Then there is the transient nature of proportion and resolution, I have seen few tattoos that weren't affected by the expansion, lowering or formation of crevasses in the related topography.

All that said, I fell for the "blood wings" lie on graduation day. My left pec still twitches when i think back on it.
