Do you want to get one or do you already have one or more than one?Can anyone provide the guidelines for tattoos in ROTC? Are they allowed? If so, are there restrictions on location and/ or size? Is color allowed?
Thanks!
DD wants one.Do you want to get one or do you already have one or more than one?
Thanks. DD will be AROTC.You would have to refer to the tattoo policy for the individual service branch for their policy. There are some variations between the services. For example, a young man I know wanted to join the Marines, but was disqualified due to a tattoo, but he was able to join the Army.
Oh, OK. You're asking for your daughter.DD wants one.
yesOh, OK. You're asking for your daughter.
My wife and I took our daughter to get her first tattoo when she was 17. Not helicoptering but we had to sign.I have already told my soon to be 8 year old daughter that if she ever has a wild hair to get a tattoo I will buy her the piece of jewelry of her choice. A deal with the devil, perhaps, but I am thinking it is a sound strategy, lol.
Thank you.This website provides an overview as well as links to specific policies for each branch of the military.
