Tattooing is the act of piercing paint or other substances on ** to form a permanent pattern or text. Tattoos have a long history and culture, and different regions and nationalities have different tattoo styles and meanings. Tattoos are also a personal aesthetic and expression, some people get tattoos to commemorate a certain person or event, some people get tattoos to show their personality or pursue fashion, and some people get tattoos to follow a certain belief or tradition.
So, can I have a tattoo as a soldier in my country?This question is not simple, because it involves two criteria: the physical examination of conscription and the political assessment. According to the Standards for Physical Examination of Citizens Recruited for Duty, the rules for tattoos are as follows:
- Tattoos on the face and neck, not eligible.
- Tattoos with a length and diameter of more than 3cm on other exposed parts of the army's standard physical training uniform are not eligible.
- Tattoos with a length or diameter of more than 10 cm on other parts are not eligible.
- Men with eyebrow tattoos, eyeliner tattoos, and lip tattoos are not eligible.
- Female lip tattoos, not qualified.
From these regulations, it can be seen that there are certain restrictions on tattoos for soldiers in China, mainly for the following reasons:
Military personnel are a special group and shoulder a special mission, and the masses of the people have psychological expectations for the image and appearance of military personnel that are different from those of ordinary people. Tattoos may affect the appearance of the serviceman, damage the image and prestige of the soldier, and do not conform to the professional characteristics and professional ethics of the serviceman.
Under high-intensity training conditions or in a harsh battlefield environment, due to the lack of complete protection, the tattoo part will be subjected to external stimuli such as high pressure and strong light, which will cause adverse reactions, resulting in non-combat attrition and affecting the physical health and combat effectiveness of soldiers.
Tattoos may reflect some personal tendencies and attitudes, run counter to the collectivism and spirit of unity and cooperation of military personnel, and affect their ideological consciousness and political quality.
Of course, these regulations are not static, with the development of the times and the progress of society, the social recognition and popularity of tattoos are also increasing, the style and meaning of tattoos are constantly diversifying and enriching, and tattoos are no longer a symbol of marginalization or rebellion, but a normal personal choice and aesthetic expression. Therefore, the standards for tattoos for soldiers should also be appropriately adjusted and relaxed according to the actual situation and needs, not only respecting the rights and freedoms of individuals, but also safeguarding the honor and dignity of soldiers, taking into account the physical and mental health of soldiers, as well as their profession and mission.
In short, whether a soldier in our country can have a tattoo is a question that needs to be considered comprehensively, and different tattoos may have different effects and results. For young conscripts with tattoos, do not rush to self-denial, and do not have a fluke mentality, you can first sign up for the conscription physical examination and political assessment, and all the results are subject to the on-site judgment of doctors and political examiners. For young conscripts who do not have tattoos, do not blindly follow the trend or be impulsive, carefully consider their wishes and goals, and if you really want to get a tattoo, you should also choose the right parts and patterns to avoid unnecessary trouble for your road to joining the army.
