The Tattoo
Ahh, the tattoo.
Legen—wait for it—dary.
The legend goes back to the first PJs – 1971 – the Vietnam war.
A little swagger. A little cockiness. And, well, a lot of alcohol.
At the time, the PJs’s taxi was the famed Jolly Green Giant helicopter. So, what could be a more fitting symbol for combat search and rescue than the Jolly Green Giant footprint?
Thus was born the PJ tattoo.
“But where to get said tattoo?” they wondered? They wanted a place that, when showed off, would command respect and awe. Some place unique. After much consideration and a few more drinks, our stalwart heroes came to a decision.
A tradition is born.
The Jolly Green feet tattoo.
On the butt (hip) of every PJ
