Firefighter tatoo?

Question

I am not a firefighter yet, only an emt.
I want to get a tatoo which reflects that but I am still looking around for ideas.

Also, would a quote look good on my back only? Or would it look good on my bicep?

Thanks for the answers so far. I was thinking of the maltese cross, or the star of life. I did not really think of how many other people would have them.

Also; your right, there would be no room for a quote on my bicep (unless I started hitting the gym much more often).

Answer 1

My husband got his engine's crest on his bicep. It is in the spot where the crest from his uniform would rest. I have seen several firefighters and EMTs have similar tattoos in the same spot.

I love quotes across the upper back, shoulder to shoulder. On the bicep you are limited in length and size.

Answer 2

my husband is a fireman and he has a very unique fire related tattoo, it's a lego fireman. most of the guys on the job have one of about three fire related tattoos which is kindof boring if you ask me. they either have the maltese cross, a flag with an eagle or the maltese cross or their fire logo. it's just very run of the mill, i prefer something that is more original and stands out, so his was a good choice. also his was on his calf and it goes from knee to ankle. you really can get your tattoo anywhere that you like.
good luck!
