Hlo, hope you are doing great.
Tattoos are prohibited in defence services of India whether it is CDS or NDA. Candidates with tattoos are not permitted to join Indian army. Also, in IAS and IPS field, these are prohibited specially if these tattoos are visible even by wearing uniform. However , tattoos are allowed on inner face of forearm. Religious significance tattoos are allowed.
You can also go for engineering services IBPS PO and IBPS RRB and other competitive exams according to your interest.
Hope it helps.
Best wishes
