If you can't see the tats while in uniform or regular clothing, how can you deny employment? Do they make LE candidates strip so the chief can inspect them for tattoos?
I have 3 tats, all done while I was in the Air Force. None of them are visible in short-sleeved shirts or shorts. Only one is visible in a sleeveless blouse, and the remaining two only in a swimsuit. When I was in, your tats could not show while in uniform. However, those standards have been relaxed in the military recently. My son joined in March and several men in his BMT class has tats on their lower arms that showed in short-sleeved uniform shirts.
Are we going to deny otherwise excellent candidates for LE on the basis of body ink? Where does it stop?
