Can I have a tattoo?

I have a tattoo that I just got on my wrist and just wondered if it is acceptable.

    Hi there,

    The army has come a long way with their tattoo policy and there are a lot of soldiers now who have a number of tattoos.

    So long as you're head/ face/ front of neck (basically what you see in a passport photo) isn't tattooed, then you should be fine. Offensive or obscene tattoos are also a barrier to entry.

    You can read a bit more on our website;

    Hope that helps
