Hi Archie, if tattoos are offensive it will be deemed unacceptable and stop you joining, the general rule with neck tattoos is if it can be seen on a passport photo, then it could be deemed unacceptable.

Please use the link below to find out more information on tattoos and piercings;

I hope this helps, Good Luck!
