Army OKs Hand, Neck Tats
If you were thinking about getting a tattoo on your hand or the back of your neck, but were worried that it might keep you out of the Army, then rest easy. The service has revised its policy to allow such body art as long as it's not “extremist, indecent, sexist or racist.†(And in the case of the neck, as long as it doesn't extend beyond an imaginary line straight down and back of the jawbone.) Women can get permanent eye-liner, eyebrows and makeup applied to fill in lips, but it must "complement the uniform and complexion in both style and color" and must not be "trendy."
