What are the rules on tattoos, this was in my local evening paper tonight,at a time when recruiting is so low why are men who wish to return to service being refused????

It would appear the tatoo isnt the only reason, he's left twice

Because he's got a great big minging tat on his neck......

If he new re-enlisting was a possibility, he knew the rules and knew that by getting it done there was no chance of re-joining.

I think its covered under the 5th commandment of 'Thou shalt not be a daft cnut'

His isn't as bad as some of the recruits i have met, some have 50+ tattoos

Bloke turned up to join up same time as me - tattoos everywhere, those horrible 'tunnel' type things in his ears, nose piercing...

Didn't see him again!

I met an MPGS chap recently who is re-engaging in the navy. He is having to have the Tatoo wedding ring removed (It is usually unseen because its under his wedding ring) I know there are rules but there should also be intelligent application of them.
