From RAF Website:

You can join the RAF if you have tattoos or piercings. However, if your tattoos are offensive or obscene, or you are tattooed on your head or neck, you will not be able to join. If you have a large number of tattoos or they are very large, you may not be able to join.

I have tattoos on both forearms and no-one batted an eyelid at any stage of the recruitment process or ever since.

Key words are "offensive or obscene".

Defining the above is very much down to the individual recruiter, but most are men / women of the world and so have probably seen worse.

Or are you worried because they're crap?

Edit to add: can someone remind me not to respond to people who can't be arrsed to post in feckin' English please.

You'd be better off using the £2100 to have English lessons.

Eh? Can we have that in English please?

Rough translation I think is that the RAF forum is w*nk.

 

[freedomman]

I think he's implying that the RAF forums are a little uninspiring and underpopulated.

That or they told him to bugger-off until he posted in English.
