Many of our military and LEOs have visible tattoos, quite a few with full sleeves. I guess they are all losers, too.
Don't want one? Fine. Blanket condemnation of those wearing ink just makes you sound like sanctimonious prigs.

Thank you.

Using terms like "wearing ink" make you sound like a wannabe hipster badass.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Yea, I got my Cavalry sabers tattooed on my upper arm. It’s a memento from my time in the Cav overseas. It’s typically a conversation piece also. A way for fellow vets to ID each other. I’ve had it for almost 20 years now and have no regrets. I guess I feel like I earned it.

Back when I was in the Guard, Tattoos were illegal for soldiers. We were informed about that at in initial training at Ft. Leonard Wood and periodical thereafter at my home unit. Only one soldier in one of our combat platoons was tattooed. It was small, covered, on his chest and hidden by him.

He only told a couple of us about it. It was somewhat of a copy of the air assault badge. He regretted it later. We teased him, saying that it looked somewhat like the little helicopter had his nipple for a sling load.
