What will happen if I get a face tattoo while still active duty army?

Good morning Dwahn, how are you doing today? I understand with this type of question, you don't plan to make the military a career. I use to be young like you and wanted to get the face tatts, gold grills, etc just to be cool. Only thing I can tell you is, don't fuck up your military career or the little time you have left by doing something silly..... You have to ask yourself, how do I explain to future employers asking why you have something other than honorable discharge. Your reply should be, because I can't follow rules, policy, or regulations. Or in civilian terms, I can't follow directions. I'm not here to bash you, but here to guide you on the right path. You are a grown man, it's your choice and future.....

Actually, you'll be ordered to remove it at your own cost. The face tattoo itself won't generate a discharge, but refusing to obey a direct order will have numerous consequences.

There has got to be a better way than this to get on the commander's radar screen. This one is sure to draw fire that you won't want.
The most likely scenario is that they order you to get the tattoo removed at your own cost and you are left with an expensive and ugly scar. The CO might in turn process a failure to adapt chapter, depending on how long you've been in.

The obvious advice here is to stick it out and fulfill your obligations. Pretty much everyone will tell you that.
I want to know what has made it so bad that you are considering such an extreme response?
