You would recommend that you take your nose stud out and cover up the tattoos at MEPS. You will have to get waivers for the tattoos.

You don't need to cover up tattoos at MEPS. They are going to stick you in a cold room just in your skivies and make you do the duck walk and check your balance and your feet and palms etc. So if you have tattoos, you can't hide them anyway. Plus, unless it's something drug or violence or gang related the tattoo waiver is simple to get. As far as the nose stud, yeah I would take that out. Makes you look more professional.
