what a waste of money, 160 dollars. could have donated that to starving kids around the world, or the homeless. would have told my son the same thing. bottom line, your choice. as long as you think it was the right thing to do. I'm 48, and do not agree with marking up your body, but again, your choice. at least you can hide that one, but if I were you, wouldn't get any more. your choice though. just do not do something you may regret later in life.

I personally have two tattoos. My first one is on my back and it was the same tattoo my best friend (who died in high school) and I were goin to get when she turned 18. I can now carry her with me forever and if I ever start to forget I just take a look at that and remember. The 2nd one I have is a patch of Daisys with a banner in it that says 'Taylor'. Of course that is for my daughter. To some it may be a waste of money but to me its an expression. I know one person that has 5 of them and you cant see any of them. If you dont know her you dont know she has them. As far as I am concerned if you work hard for your money (such as reggie did this summer and I did for mine) you are entitled to spend it how you see fit. I know I will never have a regret for either one of mine and I really dont see reggie having any either.

agreed. I shot my mouth off on a earlier post. once again, just my running mouth opinon. forgive and forget. those are two very good reasons. good expressions indeed.

Its ok
Im not a tat person
as noted by the younger crowd here
I think tats can be tastefully done
small unobtrusive
while tats dont make people "who" they are
but isnt that a reason to get em
and I know to each his/her own
and many use them to "express" themselves
My dad had one from the Navy
wasnt big or gaudy just USN

many old service men had them

I think the thing people have against them are

1. many are gaudy all up and down the arm and just plain ugly
2. The ones on the calves are just dumb one initial one each one
3. some look trashy as in the "Tramp Stamp" on girls lower back
4. the ones on ladies chest are bad sorry not cute
5. they have been associated with bikers which is not bad but not mainstream ethier (yea I know many execs have a tat and ride their bike on the weekends)
6. while it looks ok now what will it be when your 50? faded and just a big birthmark
7. some people have so many it bad yeah I know Miami Ink lol
8. I guess its kinda the old school deal of expression-why does everyone have to express themselves? "Its who I am" well maybe everyone dont wanna know who or what you are
9. The NBA
10 many as I do see them as gang related I know yours is not but you do know thats true aka the Thug factor


I actually think yours looks good
I hope it looks like that a long time

also the ones with your name across your back like a jersey are bad
like you dont know who you are

fire away Im sure someone will
remember the list is long for all you mo's

I think that's where you're wrong. Every generation thinks they are far more "hip" than the generation before. There's nothing you're doing or can do that hasn't been done before. The way the next generation will revolt will be by NOT getting a tattoo and belittling you for your choice.

That being said, I don't care if Reg wants a tat. I've blown a lot more money than that on self indulgent items.

[luvhoops34]

My dad was as conservative as they come, but he was in the Navy and had a bunch of tats. He had a star on the back of his had in between his thumb and index finger, he had a hula girl on one of his forearms and he had a sunrise with an eagle flying over it on his chest. He also had the Navy insignia on his other forearm. :D

maybe I just dont understand the whole "lets get a tattoo of a cross"

my little brother has one on his upper arm and it just looks gay.

It was actually because I saw so many guys with tattoos when I was a young man serving in the navy, that I made the decision to never get a tattoo. They were really pretty when they were fresh, but the older guys tattoos had all lost their color and were just kind of a cruddy looking blue. I will never forget we had one old chief Petty Officer that had two blue birds on his chest, an anchor chain and anchor coming out of his rear and a naked woman on his fore arm.

The only tattoo that I ever really considered getting was the Texas flag on my upper arm, but I sobered up and didn't do it. I've always been glad that I didn't go through with it. I've known too many people that have regretted it later in life. But then some of them got some pretty stupid tattoos when they were young. At least you really put some thought into it and got a tattoo of something that has meaning to you. I don't see your tattoo being something you personally will get tired of. And it's in a place where it can't be seen unless you choose for it to be.


It's really a personal thing and it's no one elses business what you do with your body. :)

I'm ok with them, as long as my son's don't ever get one.:D ;)

[burnet44]

the difference is
people serving their country and get a tat for that
and people who just want a tat

abd the ciw was funny
lol
i hope that was drawn on
surely no one would do that
and dont call me shirley

thats why they have regs on tats in the military

wonder if they check the ladies for a tramp stamp? lol

Army Changes Tattoo Policy
From Army News Service

Mar 18 2006
By J.D. Leipold
The Army has revised its policy on tattoos in an effort to bolster recruitment of highly-qualified individuals who might otherwise have been excluded from joining.

Tattoos are now permitted on the hands and back of the neck if they are not “extremist, indecent, sexist or racist.” Army Regulation 670-1, which was modified via a message released Jan. 25, also now specifies: “Any tattoo or brand anywhere on the head or face is prohibited except for permanent make-up.”

For women, allowable make-up would be permanent eye-liner, eyebrows and makeup applied to fill in lips, officials said. They said permanent make-up should be conservative and complement the uniform and complexion in both style and color and will not be trendy.

The change was made because Army officials realized the number of potential recruits bearing skin art had grown enormously over the years.

About 30 percent of Americans between the ages of 25 and 34 have tattoos, according to a Scripps Howard News Service and Ohio University survey. For those under age 25, the number is about 28 percent. In all, the post-baby-boom generations are more than three times as likely as boomers to have tattoos.

As a result of tattoo attitude changes, Army Regulation 670-1, chapter 1-8E (1) has been modified via an ALARACT 017/2006 message.

Additionally, paragraph 1-8B (1) (A) was revised to state: “Tattoos that are not extremist, indecent, sexist or racist are allowed on the hands and neck. Initial entry determinations will be made according to current guidance.”

The Army has never allowed indecent tattoos on any part of the body, G1 officials pointed out.

The new policy allows recruits and all Soldiers to sport tattoos on the neck behind an imaginary line straight down and back of the jawbone, provided the tattoos don’t violate good taste.

“The only tattoos acceptable on the neck are those on the back of the neck,” said Hank Minitrez, Army G-1 Human Resources Policy spokesman. “The ‘back’ of the neck is defined as being just under the ear lobe and across the back of the head. Throat tattoos on that portion of the neck considered the front, the ear lobe forward) are prohibited.”

Soldiers who are considering putting tattoos on their hands and necks, should consider asking their chain of command prior to being inked.

“While the Army places trust in the integrity of its Soldiers and leaders, if a Soldier has a questionable case regarding tattoos, he or she should seek the advice of the local commander through the chain of command,” added Minitrez.

Should a Soldier not seek advice and have tattoos applied that aren’t in keeping with AR-670, the command will counsel the Soldier on medical options, but may not order the Soldier to have the tattoos removed. However, if a Soldier opts not to take the medical option at Army expense, the Soldier may be discharged from service.

The U.S. Coast Guard has a limitation on the size of a tattoo in percentages of a given area that will not exceed 25 percent of the space between wrist and elbow, knee and ankle, but it does not allow tattoos on the hands or neck.

The Army’s new policy, however, does not mean Soldiers should rush out and have the backs of their necks or their hands entirely covered in decorative art, Minitrez said.

“The Army does not have a percentage policy for tattoos,” Minitrez said. “As long as tattoos do not distract from good military order and discipline and are not extremist, racist, sexist or indecent they’re permitted.”

If a Soldier’s current command has no issue with his/her tattoos, the Soldier should have personnel files so notated that the Soldier is in line with AR-670, officials said. Though not mandatory, having the notation entered serves as back-up documentation at a follow-on command which might feel the Soldier’s tattoos don’t meet Army regulations.
