This is regarding the information I require to appear for the WBCS exams.
I have a tattoo done on my ankle and I am quite skeptic about it,though I have confirmed from various sources that it does not matter until you have it hidden professionally,and even in the official site for Public service commission WB no where it has been mentioned about not having tattoos.
Even though I would require some assurance from your side.
It would be great if you could kindly help me clear my doubt about it.

Yes, as you said it's not mentioned anywhere about not having tattoo but there is something which they will look forward from the candidate is his/her moral character and for sure that might come into play, I don't say that people with tattoo have bad character or so but that's our society sees us. The common mindset with everyone is that people with tattoo are mischievous which is not true but still as I said it's about the society thinks. So, if you are really passionate about WBCS (West Bengal Civil Service) exam and wanted to get selected then probably you need to try out to remove the tattoo if it's temporary or else you can just cover it for now during the interview and make sure you show them that you are gem of a person to make known the society is thinking wrong about people with tattoo
