You are assuming that people think before they tattoo.
"Nothing to show but this brand new tattoo.
It's a real beauty,
A Mexican cutey.
How it got here I haven't a clue."
You have greater chance to becoming a marine if you were a girl.
Is incredible how ignorant the American people is .
What this idiot was thinking about.
He could get the tattoo removed and then reapply.
$750 to $3000 for a tattoo removal.
He shouldnt have to to remove it. Slavery was practiced under an American flag too. So it shouldnt be seen as racist. I do think its trashy but to me so is a Tasmanian devil tattoo but that wont keep you out of the military.
If you want to be a USMC marine, you have to follow the rules.
" In addition, as it applies to the content of the artwork, military regulation on tattoos is also in place to minimize the establishment of unnecessary divisions or senseless conflict between service members."

It's been USMC policy since 1984, long before the kid was born.
As a reminder for everyone, that's the flag of traitors to America, standing for fighting AGAINST this country. It shouldn't be on a soldier any more than the ISIS flag should.
TIDOS.
Why has a traitors flag been flying at the mississppi capitol building for all these years?
Because despite having lost the War, the South won the Reclamaition.
