For all of you liberals that are complaining... The Marine Core is an institution that holds a certain standard for those who wear the uniform... This is America and our armed forces have to hold traditional values and the limitations of tattoos from showing while wearing a uniform is an upstanding thing and respectable. Stop your complaining.
Its a frustrating conundrum. How does the military do its job in a day and age when most people in first world countries no longer truly understand the need for the military. It seems like for the most part various militaries have opted to limit/control classic behaviours; tattooing, drinking and (for the most part) harmless initiations. Todays soldier has to be stoic, healthy and unassuming. Tattooing, regardless of content, is tabooed because is could potentially be mis-associated.
Fuck this. Theres a thing called long sleeve shirts. Who the fuck is gonna see it if I have a long sleeve shirt on? I got turned away the other day because of this and now I can't enlist.
The thing is that it must be able to be covered up by a short sleeve shirt or shorts. if they arent covered by that then you must be able to cover them with one hand. I would know I leave in a month. haha
@LewisNumber17 ok thanks i can almost cover it up just not even an inch showing hope fully they just ignor it or hope fully my hand grows before next summer lol
General Conway is a first class douche

@shinken13 These limits are put in place to make military units more public friendly.

Tattoos are so much of USMC tradition. When I was in from 89-93 we all got tats its just the way it was.
