As of March 2014 the US Army has new regulations
regarding tattoos for people enlisting as well as current soldiers. They received a
lot of feedback from new recruits as well as already enlisted soldiers and decided to revise the new rules taking the feedback into consideration. With the new rules, changes and much confusion it
is good to point out what these changes mean and the reason behind them.
The official reason for the new tattoo regulations that are being
enforced is to have soldiers appear in a more “professional” light. Considering
how much traveling soldiers do, and the cultural difference between the places
they go, it is easier to not involve personal lifestyle choices in a culture
that is about conformity. “The Army is a professional organization, so we strive to
present a professional image.” according to Sergeant Jason Riddle.
Under the new regulation recruits must not have any face or
neck tattoos. They also must comply with the four-tattoo limit, and the tattoos
cannot be larger than the size of the hand of the person applying. The tattoos
are not open to personal preference either. Explicit or sexual tattoos are banned and
will stay banned according to the Army standard.
After many publically spoke out about the new changes this
spring, the Army eased restrictions for members that are already enlisted,
offering promotion with the support of the commanding officer and not withholding advances because of current tattoos.
While some recruits have
already been turned away because of the new rules, the Army is not budging on
this decision. If people are seriously considering enlisting tattoo removal
is a safe and good alternative for them.
This is the first time inhistory that people can remove tattoos with the help of a trained medical professional
in a reasonable amount of time. We see many clients who choose to remove
tattoos because of work or new career changes. Those considering the Army have
the same option. A career is a long-term investment and removing their tattoos
is part of that investment.
That tattoo removal process
is fairly simple and reliable. It does take multiple sessions and they must be spaced weeks apart. If there is someone considering this as an option they should
begin the process as soon as possible to ensure they are not turned away. Since the Army is mainly concerned with
visible tattoos, recruits can remove ink that is detrimental to their
enlistment and leave others on their body as long as it complies with the new policy.
