Where are Soldiers prohibited from getting tattoos?

• A. On the arms and legs.
• B. Only on the torso.
• C. On the legs, torso, or feet.
• D. On the head, face, neck, wrists, hands, or fingers.

Answer: (D)

The key idea is that certain areas of the body are considered too visible in uniform for tattoos. Under AR 670-1, Soldiers are prohibited from getting tattoos on the head, face, neck, wrists, hands, or fingers. These locations are highly visible in most Army uniforms and can’t be easily covered, so the policy restricts them to maintain a professional appearance.

Tattoos on other parts of the body may be allowed if they meet size, content, and other policy requirements, but the prohibited areas are specifically those listed above. The other options miss or exclude these highly visible locations, so they aren’t correct.
