However, if your tattoo is offensive they can force you to removed it at your own expense.Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Nov 28 at 2019 1:29 PM2019-11-28T13:29:52-05:002019-11-28T13:29:52-05:00SSG Private RallyPoint Member5287398<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Stay in accordance to the reg and you'll be just fine.Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Nov 29 at 2019 2:14 AM2019-11-29T02:14:25-05:002019-11-29T02:14:25-05:00SPC Angela Burnham5289355<div class="images-v2-count-1"><div class="content-picture image-v2-number-1" id="image-394302"> <div class="social_icons social-buttons-on-image">

No face tats, nothing above the neck or below the elbows/knees. And obviously, avoid anything offensive like this chap.Response by SPC Angela Burnham made Nov 29 at 2019 3:30 PM2019-11-29T15:30:58-05:002019-11-29T15:30:58-05:002019-11-27T14:38:57-05:00
