Q. So Ive looked around, but I haven't seen anyone in my situation, which is this:
I am currently 17, and going into my senior year of high school. After high school, I am looking to possibly go into the Marine Corps. I am really thinking about getting a tattoo on my chest of my family name sake in chinese kanji, backed by a dragon. The tattoo would be about 3"x3". However, my recruiter told me that because I have not yet gotten the tattoo, I should not get it until I have gone through boot camp. I have read up on the USMC's tattoo policy, and my tattoo would still fall in lines with it. It did not occur to me at the time to ask why I should wait, or if it would disqualify me for enlistment.
So my question is this:
Would getting a tattoo now, just about a year before I actually go off to boot camp, disqualify me from the Marine Corps? If not, is there a reason I should wait till after boot camp to get my tattoo?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A. The Marine tattoo policy has become really restrictive.
Any tattoo you get will require a waiver. Any tattoo. You would have to submit a waiver package that would include a digital photo, a written description from you, what the tattoo depicts and what it means to you. All tattoos are reviewed for: obscenities, drug use depiction, illegal activities, pornography, anti-patriotism... If your tattoo, IN ANY WAY, could be seen as fitting any of these you will be denied enlistment.
Your recruiter is concerned because you are possibly putting your eligibility to enlist into the hands of someone who might see your tattoo differently than you.
You won't be sneaking into bootcamp with a tattoo that hasn't been approved either. The General at Parris Island used to personally come to the initial IST with the approved tattoo waiver to verify the picture matched the actual tattoo. If any recruit showed up with a tattoo and no waiver; that was all bad.
You should save yourself the hassle and possible denial by waiting. While I was recruiting I put 293 young men & women into the Marine Corps, tattoos were always the most iffy waiver to get approved.
Best of luck to you.
