Last year Defence Ministry has banned their recruitment as soldiers into the defence forces for the candidates having permanent tattoos on their body except hands. Now the question which is disturbing is whether this rule is applicable to officer’s entry also ?? candidates having tattoos, applying for the post of commissioned officer in the Indian army are in dilemma because there is no clear explanation from Indian Army in this regard.
After going through the article published in Indian Express and NDTV, I think that army is considering this rule specially for Jawan’s bharti in army recruitment camp.

Reason for Ban on Tattoos ??
Army says there is a huge possibility of health hazard with permanent tattoos, also Brigadier Vinod Raizada, Deputy Director General, Recruiting, Jalandhar Cantonment, said, “We have instructions since November that any person with tattoos anywhere on the body, except for the arms, cannot be recruited in the Indian Army.”
I think Indian Army should make tattoos policies like US army , this will help us to understand the rules and regulation related to tattoos in Indian Army, the present rule is for new recruitment process but what about on service men, what rules are imposed on them ??
Will it affect SSB Interview Candidates ??
Though the picture is not clear yet but also there is no official statement is passed for SSB Interview candidates having tattoos on their body. Hope Indian army clears this issue in the call letter , though all the medical standard are mentioned in the call letter and tattoos issue is not the one of them. So hopefully there is no restrictions for candidates with tattoos to become an officer in Indian army .Though the candidates having tattoos will go for special checkup in medicals .
