 |
|
My grandfather who passed away last year had a couple tattoo's from when he fought in WWII. I have added pictures below. He never really talked about the war but a couple of my cousins and i would like to get these in memory of him. If anybody knows anything about these it would be really helpful. Thanks guys.

Those are really hard to see details in to help you with. A blindfolded woman and a dove?

| I see what looks like coordinates in the banner under the sailor lady, possibly Equator crossing. Both my grandfather fought in WWII and were in the navy. I'm gonna get a battleship chest piece in a few years to honor them both. |

Aha! Oh then the `thingy` behind her head looks way more like a thistle to me now. Especially the `wreath` leaf part of it now.
