I would absolutely HATE to be kept back from doing so because of tattoos
It wouldn't be because of tattoos, it would be because you don't think things through. You could be selected, but there are team sergeants and team leaders like I was who would send a guy packing if he showed up with a tattoo (my TS would chase the guy out the door if he had some sort of SF tattoo). Yes, YOUR actions are what are scrutinized. It's part of who you are.

Tattoos say "HEY LOOK AT ME!" We don't need that. I'd recommend considering your alternatives. Removal is one option.

It only takes one small thing, noticed by the wrong person, that will ruin your day in a foreign land. If you've never had a gun stuck in your ear then you won't understand the full impact of what I'm saying. This stuff is for real.
