In Nigeria, police officers are not allowed to carry tattoo marks on their bodies. You can't also join the Nigeria Police is you're flat-footed, cross-eyed or a member of a cult.

In other places, the rule on tattoos is relaxed or stringent depending on the specific country. In Switzerland for example, police officers have tattoos. In most countries, visible tattoos on the face or neck are not allowed on police officers.

Now, a law is a law and it is supposed to be respected wherever you are.

Sometime ago, the Police stated that they would not recruit applicants with tattoos.

I read this morning that Dolapo Badmus, Police PRO, put up pictures of herself showing a chest tattoo. If law enforcement agents do not obey their own laws, what will happen in the society?

Why should prospective Nigerians be disqualified for the same rule which has been flouted by one of the visible police officers?

Good observation. But is it right, according to their own laws?

There is no place in the police acts and regulations that forbids officers from having tattoos. I'm also aware that people with. Visible tattoos were disqualified in the last police recruitment. Since there was no provision for that in any act, I see nothing wrong and unprofessional about it (so long there tattoo is not conspicuous).
