New Tattoos for 2009
Army and policy against tattoos?
What are the standing Army regulations/policy (2009) for new recruits that have signed their contract for delayed enlistment and received a tattoo during the duration of the delayed enlistment?
Could a new recruit be revoked from their contact or discharged if the tattoo is found at a later time in BCT?
Do the Ranger Bats have a stricter policy?
The first thing we should understand is that there is a regulation that governs tattoos as well as another three hundred million things one can and cannot do in the Army. AR (Army Regulation) 670-1 covers what kinds of tattoos and where they can be on your person in order to be “within standards.” My best advice is to wait until you are long past basic and AIT then go see about a tattoo and save your recruiter, the MEPS station and a bunch of Drill Sergeants your headache.
P.S. If you don’t know what a Ranger Bat is maybe you shouldn’t be answering these types of questions unless you are destined to be a Barracks Lawyer. If you don’t know what that means post a question and I’m sure many active duty will answer you. And no the standard is the same whether you are a desk jockey, Ranger, Infantry, whoever it is a blanket regulation/policy.
Tattoo policy
(1) Tattoos or brands anywhere on the head, face, and neck above the class A uniform collar are prohibited.
(2) Tattoos or brands that are extremist, indecent, sexist, or racist are prohibited, regardless of location on the body, as they are prejudicial to good order and discipline within units.
(a) Extremist tattoos or brands are those affiliated with, depicting, or symbolizing extremist philosophies, organizations, or activities. Extremist philosophies, organizations, and activities are those which advocate racial, gender or ethnic hatred or intolerance; advocate, create, or engage in illegal discrimination based on race, color, gender, ethnicity, religion, or national origin; or advocate violence or other unlawful means of depriving individual rights under the U.S. Constitution, Federal, or State law (see para 4–12, AR 600–20).
(b) Indecent tattoos or brands are those that are grossly offensive to modesty, decency, or propriety; shock the moral sense because of their vulgar, filthy, or disgusting nature or tendency to incite lustful thought; or tend reasonably to corrupt morals or incite libidinous thoughts.
(c) Sexist tattoos or brands are those that advocate a philosophy that degrades or demeans a person based on gender, but that may not meet the same definition of “indecent.”
(d) Racist tattoos or brands are those that advocate a philosophy that degrades or demeans a person based on race, ethnicity, or national origin.
