16 Patriotic Tattoos That Would Make Our Founding Fathers Proud

American Flag tattoo

The 4th of July is arguably the best holiday. A typical Independence Day party is made complete with good friends, good beer, and good food… not to mention a late night explosives show. The best part about this day is that unlike other special occasions, the reason for celebration isn’t lost among the festivities. Americans love to deck themselves out in red, white, and blue to celebrate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and subsequent freedom from the British Empire. And now, we pay tribute to those who opt to wear our country’s colors every day of the year, in commemoration of our personal liberties and those who fight to preserve it. What better way to say you love America than with a ‘Murica tattoo forever on your body?
