Army to do away with asinine tattoo policy?

Did your VTIP get approved, or are you now Paper Pusher Extraordinaire?

Personally, I thought the old tattoo policy made sense - if it can't be seen in dress uniform and isn't racist/obscene, good to go. I really don't see at all what we have improved with the current policy. IMO, the forced upload into OMPF is a sign that HQDA does not trust local commanders, and resultantly has to micromanage a process that a) doesn't need to exist in the first place and b) should (IMO) be a relatively low priority matter.

Not Army, but some bull shit nonetheless.

The U.S. Army has published its revised uniform and appearance regulation, AR 670-1 atarmypubs.army.mil/epubs/pdf/r670_1.pdf and DA PAM 670-1

Soldiers are still prohibited from having tattoos above the T-shirt neckline - meaning anywhere on the neck, face and head.

I agree with that.
They need to outlaw tramp stamps too.

NOW I believe it!

I have to say, I'm surprised the Army did this. I applaud it, but am surprised.

Completely depends on the tramp.

I've met one or two that wear them very well...

A tramp stamp is just a Moving Target Indicator (Google it) for eligible, uh..."companions."

Also, if you outlaw those then who will remember what a hibiscus looks like?

Also published in 670-1 was that it no longer takes a 4187 for you to change your home regiment if you're enlisted...and no, my guys have no clue how to add it to your ERB haha.

One of my old Soldiers asked me when I was going to get a sleeve, I won't. But I retract what I said, just because I don't want it below the elbow doesn't mean the Army should mandate that. And yes, keep that shit below the clavicle. Most of us could not sport head tats like Ragnar.
