Dear User,

There is no law restricting an individual from getting a tattoo and a job in the public sector.

It shall depend on your employer, and if your clothes cover the tattoo then there shouldn't be an issue.

Even if they don't cover, it is up to your employer and the company's values.

One instance where tattoos are not allowed is if you work for the army in the UAE.

Kind regards,
