Army To Announce Ban On Tattoos Below Elbows, Knees VOL. sorry Popeye....

If they're hiring you and paying you, they have a right to tell you what their standards are. If you don't like it, get a different job

Its always been like this in the Air Force.

I be seeing other branches tatted up like cholos! Especially Army.

Full sleeves, neck, face tats and all.

Air Force, can't cover more than 25% of a seen body part. And nothing abover the collar

that EXPOSED body part is a loop hole though (as long as you leave your sleeves down).. Ive had sleeves for 2+ years now and never get any grief over it... thinking about moving on to my legs now

this new rule will basically just effect new recruits and will help lower the amount of people eligible

The military needs to get their priorities straight. Killing civilians and over looking sexual assault is never addressed, but they are worried about tattoos?

This country and especially its military is ALL about appearance and presenting a certain look. I'm in the military and I know first hand that this is true, the standards on image are made very important.

As someone mentioned earlier, there are unwritten rules also. It's no coincidence that almost every president in the past century has been over 5'10" and lean. Not one has been overweight. Also I can guarantee that we'll never see a bachelor president. America is all about presenting an image of perfection and wholesomeness, the inner workings and behind the scenes procedures are another story.

Great post
 
Do you guys really think a police officer would be hired if he had tattoos all over his neck?

If you're the employer, you have every right to set expectations of how you want your company and its employees

There's a good number of officers with tattoos. Whether they got them after may be a different story
 
This has to be one of the dumbest things I have heard... These people are risking their lives to protect our country and you are concerned about them having a forearm tattoo or a leg tat... straight disrespect and waste

This.

It depends on your area / towns.

Obviously it "urban" areas I see cops with sleeves and random tats, never seen a cop with a neck tat though.

As for the subject at hand, it's in their right to deny anyone based on their standards.

See it all the time in DC.

Ok, lets not pretend everybody in the military is risking their lives.  A very large percentage of them never leave their desks/offices/garages ect.  That being said, the Marines, Air Force and Navy have banned tattoos on the forearms and lower legs since 2008.  I had to get my forearm joint grandfathered in.

I spent four years in the U.S. Army and only time I ever fired a weapon was during basic training and qualifications. I spent most of my time behind a desk. The majority of servicemem will never come close to combat.
