Airmen stationed at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada no longer have to leave the base to get a back tattoo of Curtis Lemay flying atop a massive eagle with the word "airpower" in stencil font. Now, they can just head on over to the on-base tattoo parlor — and limit the time they have to rethink their decision.
Officials at Nellis recently unveiled the first tattoo studio to land on an Air Force or Army installation, according to the base's official Facebook page, which is part of an effort to "improve the quality of life" of airmen. (The Navy did not immediately respond when asked whether there were any studios on Navy or Marine installations).
“We have been working on this for some time and are thrilled to be the tattoo studio chosen by [Army and Air Force Exchange Service] & the U.S. Military to open on one of the largest military bases in the world,†said owner Ryan Harrell in a statement on the studio's website.
