Are tattoos allowed in Indian Army?

It all depends on the following factors: What is the tattoo? A traditional green mark from childhood? Or a Goth goddess baring her assets rampant on a battle horse? You get the drift? Where is the tattoo? On the inner wrist or palm or forearm like the traditional one mentioned in serial 1 above? Or splayed across the chest or back or arms or legs or elsewhere. You get the drift? The latest Indian Army tattoo policy prohibits any tattoos anywhere on the body. Exceptions, which will be decided by the Medical Officer during the initial medical exam, are tribal or other traditional marks made during childhood. These two must conform strictly with the policy - not visible while wearing a uniform, no offensive marks involving religion, gender, politics, caste, creed, etc. You could look up the policy on the Army website.
