What constitutes as "Detracting from a soldierly appearance"?

I'm in the Army and thinking about getting a tattoo on my hand. Regulations say that I'm allowed to as long as it is not racist, extremist, or offensive, but regs also say that it cannot detract from a soldierly appearance when in Class A's. What does this mean? Is it still ok to get tattoos on hands and whats the specifications on what I can and cannot get?
Tattoos on the hands and necks are allowed. AR-670
 
my husband got a waiver to have a ring tattooed on his left ring finger. It's pretty subtle, so I imagine if you got anything unsubtle tattooed, there would be problems
 
How bout you check with your change of command before you jump into getting it just to make sure so you don't get it then get in trouble or have to have it removed.
