What are the post-Navy career prospects for those Sailors, as compared to xj220? Not judging, as I like good tattoo art.
But your comparison is irrelevant.

But your comparison is irrelevant.
His concern was not with his post-Naval career but with that of the current employer with whom he has expressed a desire to maintain status.
Those of us who are in a tattooed status don't want some pussy who is worried about the "rules" joining us and ruining the club.
Completely relevant and fuck his career!!
Huh?
Tongue firmly in cheek Sir...
Still giving XJ220 crap for asking the interwebz permission to get a tattoo...

I don't have any tattoos at the moment. Was just Pro Rec'd for OCS. Was wondering if and when I can get a tattoo now or if I should wait till if/when I am commissioned or even after that. Feedback is appreciated thank you!
I don't know for certain but I really believe waiting until you commission is probably best. I also don't imagine a raw, fresh tattoo would feel great trying to heal at OCS if you end up leaving in a short time.

Don't get a tattoo until after OCS. You will/already have signed a form saying you will not get tattoos between now and after OCS.
I'm waiting for the 11JUL17 SNA/SNFO board to convene on my packet, and I've definitely signed at least one waiver promising not to get any new tattoos until after commissioning. My recommendation is "no," with a dash of "ask your NOR."
My OR mentioned this form to me once when I asked if I could get a new tattoo, he just didn't expand on the duration it was valid. That's good to know, even though I didn't plan on any new ones until after the fact anyway. Thanks RUFiO.
From what I understand, it has a lot to do with the MEPS portion of in-processing. Ideally, nothing new gets added to the file at this stage.

I already went through MEPS. I'll heed RUFIO's and everyone else's advice and wait till after OCS. Thanks all!
I have been told repeatedly that MEPS happens again at OCS.
