Does every Marine get the same tattoo because it's fashionable and not quite "done to death" or because it looks cool with their matching DD 214?

NO! THAT'S NOT WHY, IT'S BECAUSE IT MEANS SOMETHING.

I guess when some people think of the word "tattoo" they think "oh that's something that I can use my credit card on at the mall to have one of those black tribal things on me for when i take my shirt off at the beach."
Then if you want a tattoo then get one that means something like you said. Tattoos have been "generalized" as a modern fashion trend and for the most part say nothing unique about the individual anymore. I think this all started with the barb wire and four leaf clover craze.
