Applying with tattoos?

Hey everyone, I’m looking for info on tattoo leniency for NSW Police recruitment. I've read all about the strict tattoo policy and how it can be very case by case. I have tattoos on both hands, nothing offensive just patterns that cover my hands.

I’m hoping to hear from current officers, recent applicants, or anyone with firsthand knowledge on how tattoos are actually seen in NSW police nowadays and what I can realistically expect/if it's worth before sinking money into the application.

Thanks in advance 🙏
