Deepa, if it is a permanent tattoo, nothing can be really done about it. As it is on the forearm and you are not allowed to wear long sleeved clothes for the exam, the tattoo will be visible. If it is a name, it will have alphabets and that might be a cause for speculation. And again, as it is a permanent tattoo, nothing can be done about it. But there is a clause in the Information Bulletin stating that in case you are unable to follow the guidelines, you need to write to the helpdesk and take their approval before hand so that you do not face any issues regarding this. So please write to the helpdesk before even the admit cards are released.
