For those of you who don't like tattoos

I don't have any but I design them. usually basic knotork or CJK tats, since I speak the languages.

Great work, looks really nice there man, make sure to show it off.

Very nice.

Did you create the design?

The idea was mine, but the concept sketches were done by the artist friend.

Funny, he kept sticking the pattern on my back and I kept going bigger, bigger, bigger...nope, still bigger, now a little wider apart, down a little. I nearly drove him nuts :) But since I was going to be wearing the thing for a while I figured I better get it the way I wanted it.

Bah! You're right. Good thing I just had another one put on the other shoulder to balance things out :)

It's done...for now.
 
They had about the same rule 30+ years ago when I went in. In fact, once you were in you had to ask permission to get a tat, in theory at least. I do know of one guy how faced punishment because he got infected and couldn't perform his duties. That was in '74 I think so that aspect may have changed.
 
Well, that story strikes me a bit odd. As I've said a time or two before, I'm enlisting soon to fly helicopters, and that story isn't consistent of Army policy. Basically, the rule is you can have any part of your body tattooed, as long as it isn't on your hands, or above your neck, and none of your tattoos relate to racism, sexism, other prejudices or gangs.

I have two on my left arm (or eight, depending on how you look at it), and even though one goes around my wrist, it still meets Army specifications that are clearly outlined in writing and charts, as does the tattoos of the man in that article, at least as far as I can tell. I believe legally the Army would either have to change policy or prove that his tattoos make him ineligible because of meaning.

If I were him, I'd consider taking it to court.
