I've got a full sleeve on my right arm, two large tatts on my left and one on the back of my neck and chest and ive had no probs. As long as they are not offensive or in places where they are clearly on show then you will have no worries.

Tattoos are nothing to worry about.
There is no fear, there is only the force.

Do or do not, there is no try.

Now the question would be are they racist or obscene, as you will be working in short sleves for much of the year. The other thing they are a dead give away if you ever thing of joining any of the special forces that mix with locals while on operations

Its a tattoo on the hand, so you had better speak to your Recruiter, but it shouldnt be too much of a problem.

Tattoos arnt a problem, like someone mentioned its not a good idea getting one on the hands or neck up, also don't show up on day 1 with a para badge on your arm..
