4/8/2011 2:37:27 PM ET According to the AFI - Excessive tattoos and brands will not be exposed or visible while in uniform.'' Excessive is defined as any tattoo/brands exceeding one-quarter of the exposed body part and those above the collarbone when wearing an open collar uniform. JGD - the tattoos seen in the photo do not seem excessive to me and aparantly his supervisors agree.
