5 minutes prior to TAPS or lights out
It means that the lights will be out in 5 minutes. So basically in the navy it means get ready for bed
It could mean they are in the Navy, or it could be symbolic for stability. An anchor with roses could represent a stable relationship.
In my experience it means "warrior" - Although, there are not many active "warriors" who would get this kind of tattoo and, therefore, give themselves away to the enemy. By the way "warrior" = Navy Seal (as you might recall the Seal insignia).
It is a proven scientific fact that receiving a tattoo will not get you pregnant..... however, if you are pregnant at the time you get a tattoo, it will not cause your baby harm...
For many veteran's, a star tattoo on their hands means that they got through a difficult time in their lives. A veteran wearing a star tattoo can also mean that they shined during their time served.
i don't know about the navy but the army you defiantly can my sister has.
Some of it will depend on where the tattoo is and what it is of. Typically a tattoo is not going to be a problem. If it shows when in uniform it might be an issue. If it is inflammatory, it would be a red flag.
I think it means being in the navy or being a sailor...
a Polar Bear
It's a Navy custom aboard ships...at 9:55 the watchboard comes on the 1MC and says Tattoo Tattoo, lights out in 5 minutes. At 10pm, he/she then says Taps Taps, maintain silence about the decks. Taps.
Old navy tattoo "pig below the knee" means safety at sea. In other words, if you fall overboard you will be saved from death or drowning.

Yes, although not in certain places (e.g face) or with anything too obscene.
Three nautical stars on a tattoo often mean that someone has lost a friend or family member at sea. This tattoo is seen on members of the Navy as well as on civilians.
Time usually does affect, how hard it is to take a tattoo off. Especially if the size of a tattoo, is pretty big and might have soaked into your skin over time.
For me, the rose symbolizes femininity, yet the anchor symbolizes my tour in the U.S. Navy!
The "traditional" tattoo for U.S. Navy deep sea divers is the age old U.S. Navy Mark V (MOD 1) deep sea diving helmet. The tattoo is normally worn on the lower leg. This helmet is also the the rating badge and warfare device now worn on the left sleeve and upon the chest of U.S. Navy surface supplied aka "Deep Sea" Divers. It is strongly looked down upon for U.S. Navy SCUBA divers to consider wearing this tattoo and most know not to. U.S. Navy SCUBA divers have not completed the same rigorous training as their "Deep Sea Diver" counter parts, and are not authorized to bear the surface supplied diver insignia.
