Current regulations state that tattoos are permitted as long as they are not viewable when wearing your uniform. So unless you are planning on modifying the uniform to show your hips.... you can get it.
I would really suggest giving it a few years to stew on it. Many of my friends got them when they were younger and regretted it years later. But if you want it....do it.
Good luck,

Completely normal, mine did the same thing. Your tattoo artist should have supplied you with this information. How to Care for a New Tattoo Getting a new tattoo can be a long process, and can result in infections and imperfections. Caring for the tattoo as soon as you get one, is important. It is like caring for a new car. Maintaining it will make it last longer. Same thing with a tattoo It is important to give it proper care so it still looks just as good after ten years. Clean off the gunk on the new tattoo after the bandage is removed. Wash it lightly with some warm water and antimicrobial soap or soap made especially for tattoo healing. Never use bar soap, it will dry out the area. Merely lather some soap on your hand, and gently wash the tattoo and rinse off. Pat dry with a clean towel. Apply a thin layer of moisturizing lotion, or products made for tattoo healing on your tattoo. Most lotions are acceptable so long as they are non-fragrance and non-coloured, as fragrance and colour can irritate the tattoo. Use whatever your artist recommends,because they can refuse touchups if you don't follow their aftercare. Continue to apply the lotion or salve in thin layers every two hours or so until your tattoo has completely healed. Tattoo healing normally takes about 6 days to two weeks. A tattoo will generally go through two peels before it is completely healed.

There are no Marine nurses - they are cared for by the Navy, or Army Air Force if not near naval base.
I think you can, as long as it doesn't show when in uniform.
Call a recruiting office and ask.

Yes, but you should consider waiting to get a tattoo that reflects your future service in the military.

Why do you want to get a tattoo? Are you just looking to get AIDs? Grow up.
