I think along with many other think this tattoo policy needs to go away. I am barred from becoming a warrant officer because i have a sleeve tattoo. Seriously? I think this is complete bs. I have my pilots license on the civilian side i have passed all my Army pre reqs. So why can't i become a warrant offer? Because i have a tattoo and thats bs many great soldiers and potential great leaders are being screwed out of advancing to the top. Wjat do you guys think?

I Know for enlisted you can get sleeves of tattoos but nothing above the shoulders

Didn't they just lift it where the tattoo has to be covered for the officers and warrants, can't be revealing.

This rule is idiotic, plain and simple. Rules for the sake of rules are nothing but limitations on the strength of the military. Someone can have a tattoo and be an excellent leader/pilot/anything. However, let's not allow them to reach their full potential because they have a tattoo.. makes sense if you don't think about it!

Keep them off your face. Just my opinion. Nothing hateful at all and nothing nude visible when in uniform. I've seen eagle spread girls on guys arms.

It's all a game about looks when you get past certain rank. I think it's bs because tattoos arent detrimental. I can see why it would be a problem for your well being because you're more easily identified if you have them but for the most part your arms are covered by sleeves anyways...

I think it is BS. I do believe though neck hand tattoos should be banned. If you can cover it with uniform items you should be fine. With the rate of tattooing in today's society they are going to really limit maybe even hurt for qualified competent individuals.
