http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/te...4229-20935365/
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????They also serve, who stand and wait......

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'<a href="http://www.mybannermaker.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/O7o54.png" alt='Create your own banner at mybannermaker.com!' border=0 /></a><br>

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.

Therefore I lied to please the mob.

And I must face the men I slew.

What's the big deal, it's only a tatoo.
When I walk down the street with my chick people just look away.

Being in the army is like being in the Boy Scouts, except that the Boy Scouts have adult supervision.

I think he/she/it might be turned away from an AFCO too...

Because of the unnatural colour of hair?

Should be fine in the Royal Signals, would certainly aid in signal enhancement, if that is still a concern these days. :D :D

Re: Tattoos and the Army
That just may be his problem. They've spent enough of the tax payers money on him already. Leaving once and realising that civvy street isn't for you is something many soldiers do, but to do it twice? And the old 'I want to fight for my country' routine is a bit played out now.

If he thinks that laser surgery will be a five minute job for a tattoo like that, he's sadly mistaken. It would take over a year to shift that. It'll cost him as well, unless of course he expects the tax payer to foot the bill through the NHS.
F*cking nugget getting a tattoo that size anyway.
Good morning everyone and how are we this fine day!
