Responsible Level: Unit
Entry:
(DATE): In accordance with COMDTINST 1000.1A, tattoos/brands that cover more than 25% of
an exposed arm (elbow to wrist) or leg (knee to ankle) are regarded as excessive. The
tattooing/branding on your (arm/leg/hand) has been evaluated and determined to be outside the
bounds of current Coast Guard Tattooing and Branding policy based on excessive coverage.
Because these tattoos/brands predate the establishment of this more restrictive policy in 2005, you
shall be grandfathered in (this/these) specific area(s) for the remainder of your Coast Guard career
provided you do not have a break in Coast Guard service other than care for temporary separation
programs. However, any further tattooing/branding in (this/these) already excessive area(s) would
be a violation of Coast Guard policy, and could result in administrative action. This
Administrative Remark shall remain in your record to document this waiver and to preclude the
need for future/repeated evaluations. A description of the waived area(s) is as follows:
Left Arm (60% coverage): Eagle with name "Jack", oriental graphics covering area from wrist to
mid-forearm, Harley-Davidson logo, ship's wheel.
Right Leg (80% coverage): Serpentine design from ankle to knee
Right Hand: Fouled anchors between thumb and forefinger
