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
