Miss South Africa contestants disqualified because of tattoos.

Three contestants of the Miss South Africa 2015 beauty pageant have been disqualified from taking part in the contest for having tattoos on their bodies.

The three contestants had not indicated in their entry forms that they had tattoos and so were automatically disqualified.

Speaking on the matter, the pageant organizer, Claudia Henkel said that one of the girls had a visible tattoo directly at the back of her hair, the second one had a tattoo on her left arm, and the third had a tattoo behind one ear, and across her left shoulder blade.

Claudia said that though the third girl had indicated during an on-camera interview that she had a tattoo, but she didn't mention it during the application process. This breached the conditions of the pageant and led to their disqualifications.
