Learn More George Washington is quoted as saying: “Your love of liberty, your respect for the laws, your habits of industry, and your practice of the moral and religious obligations are the strongest claims to national and individual happiness.” Another pearl of wisdom he once uttered was, “To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace.” When we came across Corey Straughn’s tattoos we couldn’t help but give an approving smile. We think George would be proud to see a modern interpretation of his stance on guns and patriotism as well. Enjoy. Sleeve Artist: Mike Traina Mike Traina’s Art District Tampa, FL Corey Straughn: This is my tactical George Washington tattoo done by my buddy Mike Traina of Mike Traina’s Art District here in Tampa, Florida. I got this piece done as an addition to the sleeve I’m working on. The theme is America and freedom. On the other side of the arm are a bald eagle and an American flag. Our country is losing its patriotism, and I want this sleeve to remind people what this country is great for. Got a gun tattoo you’d like to share?
