New tattoo ban
When I joined the Marine Corps the first time tattoos were not as frowned upon like they are now ( for whatever reason ). I was just wondering if anyone knows the new rule on tattoos? I want to re-enlist but I have some fresh ink on me forearms I didnt have when i was discharged. Will I be able to join and fight for my country or will my tattoos hender me from doing so?
You can fight and die for youre country but you cant get any new tattoos? I understand that sleeves are a little extreme, but a few tats below the elbow is that such a big deal?

I suggest you fill out your profile properly, we expect full compliance, read the rules for this site. After you get squared away, ask away, we will try to answer your questions.

My profile should be squared away now. I am a former recruit on Parris Island. I was discharged out of boot for,at the time, unknown pre-existing medical reasons. I have had surjury and am able to return and finish boot camp.

Thank you for finishing your profile. Now to answer your question, ask your recruiter for an update on the Tattoo reqs. He will be able to tell you if you can get in or not. BTW, you won't be re-enlisting--you will be enlisting! A discharge from Boot Camp means you are not prior service!
Good Luck and God Speed.

Tattoo a Superman logo on your chest and be done with it.

I see nothing wrong with a reasonably sized EGA or a Bulldog tattooed on a Marine's forearm. Sleeves are stupid.
If you absolutely got to have a sleeve, wait until you retire or otherwise get out. I agree with this part of the reg.
Hey, Kim. Do you have a Superwoman logo tattooed on your chest?? I'm sure there were places in Iwakuni that could do it.

Yeah, but it wasn't quite as bad when I went as it later became.
It was so bad that the Detroit PD local precinct cops had a betting pool at the beginning of each school year as to when the first shooting would happen there. The pool was broken down into hours for the first week since the vast majority of shootings happened then. Usually someone with a slot in the first three days won.
Nice place to go learn.
