CSS exams and Tattoos
 

Hey guys! I just moved back from the US and currently I'm studying BBA in Marketing from University of London, Royal Holloway. I want to be a CSS officer one day but I have an issue which nobody seems to have an answer for. I have 2 tattoos, one on my left forearm and one on my right. Both are in a band shape. Now I know I'll be judged but I am a true Muslim by heart and according to me a tattoo is not a sin so please it's a request that don't judge.

My question is that can my tattoos stop me from Qualifying for CSS exams? Will I be allowed to sit in the exams and if I pass the Written exam will there be any problem during the Medical/Physical and interview? Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you.

There won't be any problem. Wear full sleeves to the medical. They don't take off your shirt. They do take off pants to check hernia but not shirts. For the Interview and Psychological, you will wear formal so there won't be any issue.

I really appreciate yor reply, sir but are you sure? I don't want my hopes to be shattered in the future after I start preparing.

It's not like the medical of armed forces where every part of your body is examined. But I have a question that what made you think to get tattooed?

Yes. I am sure. Just prepare for the exam

Go ahead and prepare. Your appearance or tattoos is largely irrelevant for becoming a CSS officer.

yes, of course. you just start your exam preparetions.
All The Best !.........
