I've never been a big fan of block text tats though, but to me, it isn't the concept of the block text but rather the choice of words that make or break it. Tattoos in my opinion have always been an extremely lame concept unless it means something deeply personal to the individual wearing it, and not just "oh i really liked this drawing when I was flipping through the art book".
So in the end, figuring what little one on an internet board can know about another member, that phrase is probably a great fit for you.
I have one tattoo on my back right shoulder, so nobody sees it except whenever my shirt is off, so really only on hot days and when swimming. I don't feel a need to make it always visible, but that wasn't the intention either - felt it was a good place for the design and for a first tattoo. Ease into it.
Wanna get something on my upper arm or chest in the future, but have no idea what design. It has to be something I will believe in forever. Will most likely get my family crest, whenever I can actually find it and get an official family tree made up. Ben Franklin is supposed to be an uncle, with my lineage tracing back to one of his brothers. That's always meant a great deal to me.
And any other tat, unlike my first tat (though extremely personal, was a readily available one), I want to have custom drawn. Just a matter of affording them, and determining what imagery would fit my beliefs that I would want to wear on my skin.
Oh and as far as the short-sleeve dress uniforms, I know for sure you can still wear them. How little they are ever worn basically means it won't be an issue anyhow, but I knew a 1SG with full sleeve art and still wore the Class B uniform with short sleeves. And generally, the length of the sleeves on the short sleeve would probably cover that up anyhow, at least a majority of the text.
