A newly revised tattoo policy that will remove the limit on the number and size of soldiers' tattoos is coming very soon, Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno said Wednesday.

I have half selves, but the Coast Guard has been pretty lenient on Tattoos for the most part. It seemed like the DOD services always had an issue with them. Looks like they are finally getting with the times. What are your thoughts? Do you agree with this new policy?

As many of you have requested/asked/even demanded, the new SMA has recommended a change to the current tattoo policy, which will be official in the next revision of AR 670-1. CSA has approved the changes. What are your thoughts?

"Under the Army's new tattoo policy, soldiers will be able to have ink on their arms and legs as long as it isn't visible in the Army Service Uniform.

This means sleeves are once again authorized as long as they don't extend past the wrist, Sergeant Major of the Army Dan Dailey told Army Times.

"As long as it's not visible in the Army uniform … that's the spirit of what we went after," he said.""

Seems like common sense has prevailed.
