Ear stretchers are not allowed, but are other piercings allowed?The website is rather vague on this subject.

The best thing to do is apply and talk to the National Recruiting Centre in 0345 600 8080 who can give you individual support and information.

I’m no way medically trained so can only advise on experience.
A single stud in each ear is allowed, apart from that I believe that’s it.

Due to training, it wouldn’t be advisable to get any other piercings that aren’t visible due to health and safety. The last thing you want is to launch yourself over a 10 foot wall and catch something!
