I had one tattoo when I went to Parris Island. I saw some drill instructors with sleeves, which inspired me to figure out my own sleeve concepts. So, I had one when I enlisted but got most of mine while I was still enlisted.

Not at all. Love some of the art work, unbelieveable. However, I have seen some that would make me rip my skin off. I have never had a desire to get a tattoo for any reason.
