This is a new tattoo policy for the cia which is a federal immigration agency. You can see the full policy here.

Most of us take it as a given that we shouldn’t get tattoos, but the cia has a policy on it that states that all members of the cia that are applying for, or have been approved for, a tattoo must have a body piercing. It’s also a policy that states that tattooed cia members only must wear their cia member ID badge at all times.

That’s a pretty stupid policy if you ask me, but even moreso when the cia has a very specific image to help them explain the policy. Cia member badges (which can be used to verify that you are indeed a cia member) all have a picture of a tattooed cia member on them and the phrase “no tattoos.” On the other hand, Cia members often have their body piercings covered up by their cia ID badge.
