You will want to read this link and speak with a Recruiter. Be prepared to be told NO WAIVER. Not saying that is what you will be told...just be prepared to be told it. Best advice I can give...Just get it removed then join

The Marine Corps tattoo policy for 2022 is considered the strictest among the military branches. Read the article to determine what is allowed by USMC.

Not to sound like a jerk here, but it would be easier to just get the tattoo removed then try to get a waiver... I don't know a single person that has received a hand tattoo waiver past 2008. I have sleeve tattoos and would love to get the tops of my hands done, but I just don't see it ever happening. Hopefully whatever you choose to do works out for you! Best of luck!

Yes, you can get a waiver. It is going to take some work, you must prove you're a pillar of the community and show worth of recruitment. Also depends on the Branch and the District.

That is going to be at least a Regional Waiver. Contact a Recruiting Sub-Station near you. Last month they had a policy shift. I was able to get a waiver for the only applicant that had one.
