That was the thread I was referring to.

The young man in question asked our opinions about him getting ink and its possible influence on him becoming an SF soldier in the future, somewhat like your question. Several SF soldiers gave their opinions about having one but at no time did anyone tell him that having one would disqualify him from becoming an SF soldier. If having tatt's was going to be a disqualification he would have been told as much...

Given this, the answer to your question is no; the SF policy is the same as Mother Army and having them will not keep you from entering or completing training or being on an ODA. That said having them could very well limit some assignment options.

Hope this covers your question.
