Seems like every time I see a US police officer on video they have full arm sleeves.

Is getting tattooed a bragging right in US police circles?

    A lot of it comes from the fact that there’s a lot of retired military personnel that trying to police force. And a lot of military personnel have tattoos.

      And many of those who haven’t been in the military but want to be cops fetishize the military, and then go get tattoos like the veterans they wish they were.
