    Hi, I think you mean tattoos and such? correct me if I'm wrong.

    You cannot join the British Army with offensive, obscene, or racist tattoos, or tattoos on your face or the front of your neck. Tattoos on the hands and back of the neck are generally acceptable, though the saluting hand (right) should remain clean. You can check your specific tattoos by referring to the British Army's official tattoo policy or contacting your local Army Careers Centre

    Bleaching is when you apply body lotion to your body which turn you from dark to fairness

    as long at there are not medical reasons and its not offensive then it should be fine.
