I'm actually glad to see this video. I'm a Georgia resident and got covered in tattoos when I was 18/19 (now in my 30s) and wanting to go into law enforcement. Now when you google this, its hard to even make out what the clear policies are so im just going to go down to the department and see. But videos like this make me hopeful.

Same here, I wanna go into law enforcement as well and I asked a Atlanta PD officer about tattoos & he said in Atlanta they’re more lenient but it all depends on the department

What state is this

I find it hard to comprehend why individuals would intentionally harm their own bodies and be content with it. I come from a place where tattoos were not well accepted, but now they are part of the mainstream culture. I am committed to staying true to the values and beliefs of my generation. As an adamant opponent of tattoos, I hold the strong belief that they are not the best form of self-expression. Everyone has their own personal taste and opinions when it comes to tattoos. While some may find them interesting, others may not be a fan of them. It's all a matter of personal preference and individuality. At the end of the day, what's important is to respect others' choices and live your life the way you want to.

The freemasons forced all Baltimore city police officers with tattoos to wear long sleeves. There goal was to get me to have laser tattoo removal. This plan failed horribly. The results lead to me getting more tattoos and the police department later changing the rule back.
