https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/army-national-guard-denied-my-tattoo-waiver-can-i-try-for-a-tattoo-waiver-with-the-army-reserves <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I recently spent 3 months waiting for a tattoo waiver for Army National Guard. I have a 1in X 1in tattoo behind my left ear. I just found out i that my waiver was denied. I was just wandering if i could do another waiver with the army reserves? Would i have a better chance of approval or is it the same pipeline that denied me? If i don&#39;t have the option to try another waiver with the reserves, are there any other branches that i may have a chance of getting a waiver?

AR670-1 Para 3-2 and 3-3. Active Duty, Reserve, or ARNG.<br /><br />Your best bet is to go see the recruiter for another service and ask. Head and neck tattoos are tough to waive as they are visible in uniform.

With the need for numbers I would try the reserves ASAP or Active duty SFC Private RallyPoint Member Sat, 06 Jun 2020 01:04:48 -0400 2020-06-06T01:04:48-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/army-national-guard-denied-my-tattoo-waiver-can-i-try-for-a-tattoo-waiver-with-the-army-reserves?n=5978011&urlhash=5978011 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Within the last year a new update came out to where tattoos in locations such as where you indicated could be reviewed and potentially waived. Of course this is new because anything above the wrist line or the neck line would have been as absolute disqualifier. It is possible though. Try the army Reserve just make sure you bring it up on the first appointment to let your recruiter do his or her research on the update.
