Well lads

How will people with tattoos fair up?

I have a couple, all of which will be well hidden except one on the inside of my forearm?

Would I be looking at at removal?

Just cover it up . When on duty you are meant to have them covered but iv seen gaurds with sleves .

Do all your exams tests interviews medical and what ever else they throw in this time round in long sleves skin type/ underarmor and no one will realise it

Yeah keep it hidden, they'll ask you to disclose them on the medical form if you get that far anyway, so if you're through to that stage they shouldn't make much of a difference unless they read something like "AGAB" or "KKK" etc...

The only skin you will have on you for the medical is you own!

I did mine years ago left on the top for the excercise portion . The only time id to take mine off was in a private room with the doctor listening to chest etc

Ok will wear body armour or something doing the tests

Im pretty sure when the top comes off for the doctor that he/she will only report on the lungs and blood pressure etc rather than tattoos? Surely?

Mines basically a star with a bit more like its nothing to write home about

They always write down what tattoos you have if any, they keep a record of it

Plenty of Gardai have tattoos just so long you can cover them when working
