Getting an Air Force tattoo however does not mean you have to be in the military branch. Some people who are related to or married to loved ones in this division of armed forces have also been seen with Air Force tattoos. Since the Air Force like every branch of the military puts its soldiers at high risk of death, accidents during combat or just by mistake happen. If a loved one has passed, and you want something to remember them by, a tattoo of a heart with the Air Force symbol within it, the birth and death date of the individual is a simple and genuine tattoo that sends a message of not forgetting our fallen soldiers.

The Air Force like every branch of the military has its own badges. These badges signify special skills, qualifications, and served as a form of identification of ranking. Getting a tattoo of a particular badge you are proud of receiving not only shows your accomplishments outside the uniform but is a solid reminder to yourself who you are and what you have done. Aviation badges for example have many different designs but the primary similarities in all of them are the two wings spread open with a symbol of the skill or occupation in the middle. The navigator symbol for the Air Force badge is a compass embodied by the wings.
