I am sure you are all tired of answering questions pertaining to tattoos but hopefully this one is something you haven't heard before.
Ok I have a shit ton of tattoos and I plan on leaving for France in the next few months. I realize tattoos are not an issue in the Legion face neck whatever it's all good. But I have to ask this as I am setting up an appointment to get tattooed soon.
Will brightly colored tattoos affect my ability to make it in? Not on my chest or back but on my hand and throat as well as the back of my neck. I am planning on getting my throat finished with brightly colored red roses that will sleeve pretty much my entire neck up under my chin all my throat (that isn't already covered) and all the way up the sides of my neck behind my ears.
Now I have done the research and even e-mailed the Legion several times once in French even and have received nothing of use on the matter. I have seen pictures of people in uniform with neck and hand pieces but always in black and grey.
I ask only because I want my throat and vital areas finished and tattooed by someone I trust here in the States before I leave. I don't want to be walking around for 5 years or however long with an unfinished piece on my throat. I hope you can understand my bringing it up despite however annoying the "can I get in with such and such issue" questions are.
So the question is. Highly visible/brightly colored tattoos on the throat neck and hands, will they affect a possible candidates ability to join?
I have pictures of my tattoos up on my profile if you need a frame of reference for my tattoo situation. Thanks a ton guys.
