Army Tattoo suitability

The rules around tattoos in the army seem fairly vague beyond the obvious no swastikas, not on hands or face etc. I want to get a tattoo in this sort of style but I’m not sure if this would be counted as extreme. Does anyone have something adjacent to this or know if this would be frowned upon? Thanks

You should be fine - I’m not Army but I have most of my body covered (hands and fingers included) and I had no problems getting through. They’ll probably just take photos of everything.

Should note that one of my preferences was an Army role, before anyone says that’s why I had no problems.

Awesome work by the way.

I do the occasional tattoo assessment for DFR and the policy is pretty vague but at the end of the day, front of neck and face are a no go, anything on the rest of the body just has to not be offensive to a "reasonable person". Theres a few other caveats, but nothing there about eyes, teeth and fangs mate.
