I’m enlisting in a few months, but i have a quarter sleeve tattoo on my right arm. It’s not vulgar, sexist, racist etc. in anyway. I’ve been reading about the new limits on tattoos in the Marine Corps and would like some clarification. My sleeve ends dead center on my bicep and wraps 360 degrees around and then goes on to my chest. It’s a solid three inches from my elbow, it can be almost compltely covered up with a t-shirt, it just leaks out by about an inch. Will i need a waiver at MEPS? or have no chance at making it into the Marine Corps?

Sorry that this is another tattoo related question. I have been reading others responses but they seem to be questions regaurding tattoos on the forearm and such.

Thanks

Oh tough one theres a new tattoo regulation put into effect a few months ago, i know enlisted CANT get any tattoos that pass the PT uniform look it up in the MarineCorpsTimes or ask recruiter, hope you can man
