At the AFCO in Lincoln, they told me not to get a tattoo until I have joined my regiment. Because the army are having abig thing on tattoos at the minute and people are being refused because they have tattoos on necks, upper shoulders, hands etc. anywhere visible whilst wearing your ceremonial kit I think

Tobyj, I would suggest waiting until you're 18...
There being the small issue of it being illegal until then!
You can have peace.
Or you can have freedom.
Don't ever count on having both at once.
