Pistol tattoos aiming at vagina a unique way to celebrate M-9 Qual

FORT LEONARD WOOD, Mo. — Sources say Pfc. Ashlee Gibbons has found a unique way to celebrate her first M-9 pistol qualification — by getting two ornately decorated Beretta tattoos inked onto her hips aiming towards her lady parts, each shooting out an Eagle, Globe and Anchor.

"It's a permanent reminder when I look down there that I can shoot a pistol now, that I'm a Marine, and also that, hey, guess what, I've got a bajingo, too," said Gibbons, currently a student at Military Police School.

The tattoos were done off-base by Leroy "Skidmarkz" Skidmore at Electric Krayon Studios following careful research and several shots of 99 Bananas. Gibbons considered the other reliable option, One-Eyed Blue Monkey Tattooing, but noted they were booked solid.
