During the 1940's and 1950's "time marking" tattoos became very popular. The most popular war tattoo among war veterans was known as the "pledge" tattoo. The pledge tattoo consisted of their unit, military division and an American eagle. These tattoos represented the dedication of the soldiers.Also the now traditional rose & banner inscribed with a sweetheart's name, the pretty pin-up girl, sailing ships, or the simple inscription "Mom" became widely popular during this time. Sailor Jerry style tattoos were popular during that time as well. Type sailor jerry into google and you can see some vintage tattoo flash

Alot of what are called "traditional" tattoos came from this era, most notably sketches by Sailor jerry. you can find alot of his work on www.vintagetattooflash.com Also check out sailorjerry.com
Each tattoo also means something, a sparrow, for example, means you've sailed past the equator, a rose means you've recived a "dear john" letter (a break up letter) etc...etc...
The devil dog tattoo is a Marine tattoo. Like roughnecks or jarheads.
