Military Tattoo Policy: Do the rules and regulations keep warfighters from being unprofessional or are the policies outdated?

In my personal opinion, servicemembers should be able to have as many tattoos as they desire. Tattoos do not make make the servicemember less professional, they're something we do out of personal expression and a way to commemorate meaningful things. With the current state of the world being as it is, shouldn't the military be more accepting of all cultures and individualities of the servicemember? Diversity and inclusion is a priority for most businesses and is currently a huge priority within the military. That's all well and great yes, but how does a servicemember having a sleeve tattoo or hand tattoos affect mission success? It doesn't. Does having a tattoo on my index finger impede my ability as a trigger puller? No it doesn't. If i have a sleeve tattoo, does that stop me from carrying my buddy off the battlefield? Nope, I can still carry them.

Just my thoughts. What do you think?
