polish and general uniform wear, the Army has said.

■ Soldiers may have no more than four visible tattoos below the elbow or the knee; tattoos must be smaller
than the size of the wearer’s hand.

■ Sleeve tattoos on the arms or legs are not authorized.

■ Enlisted soldiers who exceed the tattoo limit cannot request commissioning; they are not grandfathered.

■ Commanders must validate all tattoos above the neckline, below the elbows and below the knees with a
description of the color and shape on an official memo.
