With the changes in Marine Corps Bulletin 1020, Marines, unless grandfathered, can get only one lower arm tattoo, which must be at least one inch below the bend of the elbow extended and two inches above the wrist. The tattoo pictured left is an example of one that would with changes to the order be considered out of regulation. As of June 1, 2016, Marine Corps Bulletin 1020 updated the tattoo policy with the intention of balancing the desires of individual Marines and the standards and professionalism the Marine Corps upholds.
