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. Marines are prohibited from getting tattoos on the head, neck, inside the mouth, wrists, knees, elbows and hands with the exception of a single band tattoo of no more than three-eighths of an inch in width on one finger.
