Piercing holes

I currently have my septum, nostril, labret, tongue, smiley, eyebrow and a few ear piercings. Will the piercing holes be an issue when it comes to me wanting to be an officer?

    Hello,

    Clinicians will decide, but provided the holes are small it shouldn't be an issue.


    Officially, 'any residual hole of more than 4mm in diameter is incompatible with enlistment'. You'll need to take piercings out when on duty, but you can keep a small stud in each lobe.
