Two of a Dive

Marka or Mark V dive helmet tattoo

Nearly every graduate of Navy Diver School has a similar tattoo somewhere on their body. I would guess 95 to 97 percent.

My buddy and I stayed up all night drinking and ended up at a sketchy Aryan tattoo artist’s shop. The artist free-drew this tattoo. This is called the Marka or Mark V dive helmet. This was the dive helmet divers used until the late 1980s. This is also the insignia for the uniform of a Navy diver.

Only two people in the world have this exact tattoo — my buddy and me.
