Question future MO here, will tattoos affect my posting after MOCC? I was from spf

hi everyone, hoping some random MO (or anyone else) out here may have the answer to my question

for context, I was from SPF before I disrupted for med school. understand that I have a high probability of being posted to SCDF after my MOCC 3months course as long as I indicate interest.

just wondering if tattoos will affect my chances of posting to SCDF? I've got 5 tattoos, all hidden except for one on the calf of my right leg.

Thanks!

edit: yes, I got them after I disrupted from spf :)

that's my presumption as well, but I'm not 100% sure so just ought to double check. my med seniors don't know as well

hence I got them in places that are covered up (right calf would be covered with long pants) though I do understand where you're coming from

Some paramedics also have tattoo, but didn’t stop them from doing their job professionally and actually saving lives. What you doing here? Keyboard warrior nia 🤣
