Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Handling) 3rd Class (AW/SW) Sarah Atiyyat, from Edison, N.J., poses for a photo in the hangar bay of the Navy’s only forward-deployed aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) on July 5, 2016, in the South China Sea. Atiyyat is one of many Sailors who has dedicated time and skin to the artwork of tattoos.
