Hi, awesome question.
Tattoos that are not allowed are:
Any face/head tattoos - ie ones that can be seen on a passport photo (natural looking tattoo eye brows are ok).
Any tattoos that are offensive / obscene in any way
If you are in any doubt pop into your local army careers office and they will be able to advise.
