No tats on me. It was my impression, when in SF back "in the day" that they were frowned upon, so I didn't.
Same here - few newbies got tattoos as they 'branded' you for unwanted ID purposes - but a number of the older NCOs had things like a set of jump wings on a forearm or shoulder from when they were young paratroopers in the 11th, 17th, 82nd, 101st, 187th and the like.
