It depends on the size and location of the tattoo. Each service is different.
If it cannot be seen when you are wearing a plain, crew neck, short sleeve T-shirt and running shorts, it's usually fine. If it can be seen wearing shorts and a T shirt, talk to your recruiter.
If it is on your face or neck, or if it is racist or offensive, you can't enlist.

you can have one but you must go through a long process which involves a lot of questions like...
why did you get the tattoo?
when did you get?
does it have any meaning?
etc.
as long as it isnt gang symbols or anything like 'i love bin laden' you'll be fine.
oh, and it can be on your face, neck or forearms because it wouldnt look proper in uniform
