Speaking of dumb fucks — just because it’s a gun doesn’t mean it’s loaded.
Regardless, I imagine (hope?) someone in the armed forces knows how to handle a firearm.

About the finger: The photo doesn’t show that. It could be “finger long” that means the finger beside the trigger, blocked by the metal in front of the trigger. A very usual method to be prepared firing fast – but being really safe, not to fire by chance.
Another thing to say: Military does indeed not automatically mean silly (still I remember too well, that the amount od really bad idiot sis over-average in).
BUT:
Posing with a gun was a very, very, very well correlating inversely to the IQ. We had these people in our group – in all ranks. And of ten of “posers” 1 was quite intelligent, 9 were through the wind.
Posing with a weapon showing a tattoo “how dangerous I am” will definitely not increase the chance to find an intelligent on in the “poser” group.
Posing “cool” is in the best case a funny gag. In the case of an real conflict, people using high end fire weapons would not be impressed, but kill onto 300 – 500 yards of distance.
There’s not much to pose – everyone can be”that dangerous” you even do not need training (300m distance, 2/3 shots on 30cm diameter round well hit on the first training shots – by everyone). In best case you may show, that the ingenieur who invented the weapon was good.

How the media distorts what soldiers are doing overseas…it’s funny how ‘smart’ people become ignorant when not having listened to or understood both sides of this story. “Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum”. The armed forces is a necessity, get over it.

Yes his finger is on the trigger, but it’s ok, he’s in the Navy, it’s just a paintball gun. 😛

Yeah, call me crazy, but I’ve never understood the novelty in killing people — in the war OR otherwise.

when i was in the army, every single person I knew had at least one photo of themselves posing with a gun…aside from the fact that you have one with you at all times, poseing with one is expected. It had no correlation to intellegence.
HOWEVER…posing with a gun AND being an owner of that tattoo AND being in the military DOES indicate something about the owner of that tattoo. What it does mean will be left as a excercise to the reader.

Wow, a lot of angst in these comments. Maybe people should try to appreciate the photo out of any context?

Hmm, what is there, which you could appreciate? Tattoo quality, to be on topic? Please….
photo quality, or the standard gun (heavily used, worn off and old), any aesthetics in the pic I miss?

“[..] The armed forces is a necessity, get over it.”
We pay taxes for those guns, but for charity we rely on donations? How about we switch those around for a change and see how things go then?

wintermute: That does not tell me anything good about the Army of yur country (US?).
In Austria it is pretty proscribed to do silly posings (with weapon). You have it with you, indeed, and in worst case ypou use it. But it is not a kind of toy, and getting cought posing funny (or “cool”) was worth some extra weekend day in the casern.

It is possible to support the troops but not the “war.” I mean, after all, they are people, some of them who weren’t necessarily dealt the best hand in life and didn’t have many options. It wasn’t the troops choice to go to the Middle East. Only sociopaths would actually want to be there.
If you think you’re a decent person you should support the troops. Not because they are “protecting your freedoms” or any of that bullshit, but because they are people. They’re sons and daughters and mothers and fathers just like everybody else. It seems like thats forgotten all too quick.

This isn’t about the military, its about how this person is choosing to represent himself through a tattoo and photograph.
The issue is that a photograph of a person holding a gun with a tattoo that says “deadly” implies violence (in this case against humans as that gun would not normally be used for hunting). Whether or not this is the message the photographer and model intended is debatable. However, if it is, it is really tacky. But then again, I’ve never been one for tough-guy bullshit.

I wish people would stop arguing about the things around the tattoo.. last time I checked this was a body modification blog.
Hate the military, love it, personally i dont think its the thing to be questioned and discussed here.

….”last time” there were not some off topic things… or BEST – very loosely bodymod-related things posted. lets guess, are threre mote or less than 10 billion (10 exp. 10) photos in the world, which are more closeely bodymod related than that (e.g.: every tatoo pic, every earring…)
…the mod which is shown here – in a blog for sensational, great astonishing bodymods, ia mediocre less than average standard.
So why it is posted then?
There is an off Topic thing, which gives the answer – and leads to the discussion.

I have a gun collection, part of which was my grandfather’s. Some are still used by me as sport (target) firing. I do not hunt. I have, on occasion, taken pics of my guns. I have also taken pictures of my car, my cats and my flower garden.
I guess that makes me a “tough girl”?

46: No, it makes you an American (haha).
42: I’m as humanistic as they come, but I’ll only support the troops when there’s a draft and they are being FORCED to enlist. As long as they have a choice, they are supporting killing, and I won’t support that. Working in a jail, and seeing people who will spend decades behind bars for killing one or two people, really fucks with your perspective on ‘greater good’ violence.

The more i read modblog the less respect im starting to have for the people who actually take the time to comment. Truthfully half of you sound like a bunch of fuckin retards, american. people join for many reasons and none of them are wrong. People cut their dicks off on here and you guys are like wow thats super cool! But a man defends his country and youre all like yeah fuck that guy! WTF?! Your all a bunch of pussies, you got your shit twisted. and if your not american and your talkin shit, FUCK YOU AND YOUR WHOLE COUNTRY. WEAK.

Hahahahaha! NONE of the reasons people join the military are wrong? That’s a cute concept.
I don’t think people are taking issue with wanting to defend their country; that’s respectable, sure. But if it was all about protection and respect, would the guy in question have a shoddy tattoo announcing he’s a killer (and possibly ruthless a la the devil tail)? I mean, listening to you, it sounds like he should have an American flag or a banner or something! Respect me, damn it! 🙂

I appreciate this picture just cause it is a piece of creative photography that we should all appreciate. This entire community is suspose to be supportive of all peoeple and all life types this rapant attack against him is a terrible thing and all of the people who have commented rudly should feel ashamed. And by the way his finger is out of the guard, where it should be.
