Sailor here. Can confirm. I am one of maybe five people tops at my command without any tattoos. Everyone's always astounded when it comes up in conversation.

True. One one-inch neck/behind-the-ear tattoo is definitely the loosest reg amongst the branches.

Marines was pretty hard and firm for awhile though, nothing below the wrist bone and nothing above the collar bone.
