View Full Version : Will my tattoos clear?
Im 19 and im currently wanting to become a marine. I can't enter now because i have braces but i'm working out and preparing myself for boot camp when the time comes. I have two quarter sleeves, one on each shoulder going down my arm. It ends halfway between my shoulder and my elbow and i'm wondering if they will clear at MEPS? One is a flag and the other is a tattoo my brother (in the marines already) and i got together. Please help!

Nobody here can help you. You need to have a recruiter look at them. They know what will fly and what won't or if you'll need a tattoo waiver.

Good luck to you. Let us know what they say.
I got them cleared by my recruiter and he said i shouldn't have a problem at MEPs!

Jimmy, branding isn't against regs, but tattooing is.

Everything these days is a big deal. That's one of the hallmarks of the 21st century. The Great Age of Tolerance, supposedly, and yet? quite the opposite. End of sermon.
