Question about my scars and tattoos

[Von_Dutch 0]

I got into a small accident in 2010 leaving me with some very noticeable scarring in my face. Long story short i went to a plastic surgeon to fix it, it got infected and made things worse. Several operations later it became even more noticeable. I also have some visable tattoos (hands and neck). I have no criminal background and come from europe.

Would they ask me about it and give me a hard time? Would i need a note from my GP explaining my scars? What about tattoos?

Thanks.

No they'll document them and simply ask what happened, and as long as your tattoos aren't gang or racial or anything of that sort it shouldn't be an issue .

No there won't be any problems, assuming the tats are not gang related/ don't look like prison tats.

I have full sleeves and a penguin tat on my legs, and they weren't even mentioned.

Thanks, thats one less worry... I'm usually judged by how i look (beard, scars, tattoos etc) but im a very nice guy lol. One more question, what about my medical history? What do I need to provide? Do i need to show a long list of everything I went to see my GP for? What do they need to know about my past?

Just records of shots otherwise no records they will make you do them again . Nothing else should be needed .

Being from EU it should not be a big deal at your consulate, however many Latin

countries consulate focus on tats....You could have someone translate your tats

proving they are not gang related..numbers, tear drops, clowns & area codes are

focused on by consulates, other tats can be explained..You should not have a prob
