marines ban tattoos...

[Hektik]

this isnt a ban on all tattoos only those wich are visible while in uniform... while i understand the Corps has an image to uphold. i know that this is going to cause somewhat of an uproar within the Marines. not much since they arent allowed much freedom anyways.. the Navy has the same type of standard about tatoos. but its is not really enforeced unless the higher ups just dont like you. I knew a few people who had tattoos on the lower part of there arms and theywerent allowed to were short sleved uniforms... but then there were other with the same type of tattoo who no body gave them a problem.. alot of it has to do with work ethic beleive it or not.. if youre a great worker and an asset to you command you will get away with much more stuff. but if youre a staright out dirtbag, then youre pretty much fucked cause they are going to nit pick everything you do wrong.

Truth. It was that way in the army when I was in.
