Eliminate tattoo regulations preventing people with more than 25% of a body part tattooed from joining any military job

Created by N.J. on March 25, 2013

We would like President Obama to address the discriminatory rules preventing good citizens with no record, from joining ANY branch of the military simply because they have tattoos that are visible and cover more than 25% of the body part it is on. Most tattoo collectors are just that, COLLECTORS. I got my tattoos from my love of art as do many others.I wish to join the Air Force as a means to serve my country and provide stability for my sub-poverty family, but can not due to these rules and regulations. Please sign my petition if you would like these to change as well and make the main credential of joining any military branch be based on a background check and psych evaluation.
