18x with Tattoos

[Disciple]

First, I would like to apologize if anyone feels that my questions have already been answered in other threads. My searches have not yielded sufficient answers, and would appreciate anyones effort to point me in the right direction.

I am interested in becoming an 18x candidate. I have all confidence in my abilities to do well in selection and am very excited at the prospect at overcoming such a challenge.

However, I have several tattoos that would be visible in a PT uniform.
I have managed to find enough information regarding joining the army in general and its tattoo requirements. However, I have not found any information as to tattoo requirements in SF, and the recruiters that I have spoken to do not seem to be very knowledgeable on this specific topic.

Will tattoos affect my chances of selection?
I ask specifically because I was told by a marine recruiter that I am most likely precluded from Marine Corps OCS due to them. (This was before I knew about 18x enlistment, now that I know it is an option, there is no doubt in my mind that Army SF is my preference)

Also, is it possible that "on paper" there are no regulations precluding me from SF selection, but that I will, in reality, encounter discrimination in the selection process due to the ink?

I am willing to spend the entirety of my enlistment bonus on tattoo removal if that is my only option (though it is my strong preference not to do so), and would prefer to begin such a long process sooner than later if it is necessary.
