Donald Trump's left-field Secretary of Defense pick Pete Hegseth has an impressive display of tattoos – some of which have already proved controversial for the Fox News host.

The veteran who served tours in both Afghanistan and Iraq and is double Bronze Star holder and is a TV top presenter having fronted Fox and Friends since 2017.

Hegseth, who is 44, started adorning his body with tattoos only recently after his father dissuaded him from getting tattoos at a young age.

Good luck at the Pentagon, especially with the LGBTXYZ faction.

Tattoos are a form of self-harm and not a sign of intelligence.

YGTBFKM.

Best they got?

[BigFreakinToad]

Don’t care for tats, but at least these are acceptable

[TornadoAlley3]

I doubt most voters give a cr@p about his tats. They want the military mean and male without busting the budget

[bray]

It is an Iraq war thing along with beards.

[TexasFreeper2009]

Tattoos are permanent proof of temporary insanity, IMO.

Are you really going to object to “We The People” on his forearm?

now if it was a pink pony............................

Hahaha. It seems it's going to take a bit for what happened last Tuesday to sink in with Americans.

Hegseth is going to be just fine.

[God luvs America]

I’m not a fan of tats myself, but that’s just a stupid statement

[V_TWIN]

If you cut all your hair off maybe you’ll feel better

[TheThirdRuffian]

I certainly grew a beard during and after Iraq. As did most men from my unit.

Have to say I was pleased my unit could have beards. Really helped with the Sun for this Irishman.

Never knew it was widespread among vets, but I think you are correct.

[madison10]

Exactly. The election was not about tats. Who makes this stuff sound like an issue anyway?

[j.havenfarm]

His dad was ion the right path. One of my sons is still at home, the other a husband and father who still gets a little help from me. I told both years ago that I will cut them off if they get tattoos. Thus I’ve helped them not engage in this unfortunately popular form of disfigurement
