My impression is that the "Traditional" tattoos from our father's Marine Corps were usually individual stand alone designs. The new regs for "Sleeves" is an example of the Marine Corps adapting to the world. They are actually making a concession for something that could justifiably be banned. The line has to be drawn somewhere.
I think these regs are pretty liberal actually. If I was boss of the World only one single tattoe under 5" would be allowed on forearms. Anything would go under the service uniforms, and nothing allowed on neck or above unless incorporated into a batttle wound scar.
I really dont see what it matters how many tattoos show in a PT uniform.

I got out with (4) and all would have been within regs now. But after that I got several more some are big.
I would argue that if you get too many tattoos while your in the Corps you wont have anyroom for more, when you get out.
