These facts help to better understand the people who served in the Airborne Forces, as well as their tattoos. Airborne soldiers - first of all strong-willed and courageous personalitiesready to take risks and perform the most difficult combat missions.

The value of the airborne tattoo

The meaning of an army tattoo of the Airborne Forces is essentially one - belonging to a given branch of the army. But the images themselves may be different.

For a long time, army tattoos had a direct practical meaning - they were stuffed on the body soldier blood type tattoo (the figure is often depicted inside a cartridge from a Kalashnikov assault rifle) for quick medical assistance if necessary. In modern airborne tattoos, there are at least three required attributes.

  • Firstly, the abbreviation itself, by which you can unmistakably understand who is in front of you.
  • Second, the almost all such pictures have a parachute - the symbol of the airborne troops. The most common is the image of an airplane soaring upward against the background of a deploying parachute.
  • Thirdly, on the army tattoo of the Airborne Forces, there is almost always the number of the unit in which the service took place.
  • In addition to these three attributes, you can find some slogans, for example "Glory to the Airborne Forces" and others.

As always, some sketches and photos of the Airborne Forces tattoo are presented at the end. This is the rare case when a tattoo carries a symbolic and functional meaning, rather than an artistic and philosophical meaning. From the above, it is clear that the Airborne Forces is a purely male prerogative.

Most often, the listed signs can be found on the shoulder and chest... You can see that on many fighters the tattoo looks blue, and not black, as we are used to.

The reason is that often such tattoos are made in an amateur way, with cheap paint. But, as we have already noted, this is the case when the tattoo does not have to be of great artistic value, but is a distinctive sign and has a functional meaning.
