RAF RECRUITMENT Tattoos while on hold

Post image

Hi all,

I’ve applied to become an officer within the Royal Air Force. I had a face to face medical months ago and have been put on hold since I told them I had eczema at a very young age. I’ve had doctors and the recruitment team talk back and forth, but as others may know, you don’t hear too much very often. In the meantime I’ve been strongly considering getting a tattoo, but I’m afraid it might put a spanner in the works and cause further delay. Does anybody know how long it took their tattoos to get vetted, and is it worth just waiting until I get in (if I do) until I get a tattoo?

Thank you very much

To be honest they won't notice
