Candidate having tattoo on the body are not eligible to apply Indian Military Academy

Because candidate with tattoos have chances to have "Skin disease like skin cancer"

=> If you apply for the defense services there only tattoo on hand are allowed not on other body parts.

=> If you go for the defense services with tattoo then they will give you less preference then the other candidates.
