On the upper arm, yes. Just not on the forearm (the lower part of your arm).

All they will do is make you fill out a waiver and add it to your Pg. 2.

No problem. Kind of funny you have a coast guard sign inked on ya and your not in yet. I know if you went to the corp and did this you would get so much crap...and rightfully so.

But hey, its great you admire the Coast Guard and know you wanna join.

You will not have problem with the upper right arm...tattoos below the elbow over 25% surface area are tattoos you need to worry about. You would still be excepted but would have to cover it.

Below are the links to the Coast Guard Policy on Tattoo and Body Modification.

Good Luck!

Umm, you can't be a coast guard just because you have a tatoo but if you work at it I'm sure you could be someday.
