Hi guys, i'm a new resident of CA, I've lived in Florida my entire life. I filled out an LAPD preliminary background application a few weeks ago, and just got an e-mail saying I've been selected to participate in the expedited testing process (quoted below). I am seeking input on how to proceed because (regretfully) I had a lot of problems as a teenager, and did a few stupid things... including getting some less then flattering tattoos including 2 marks under my eye.
I'm wondering if calling in and scheduling to take the test would be an instant shot in the foot? I'm not sure if I should first remove the ink, and then re-submit my application
. I honestly did not see this e-mail coming so i'm just trying to get some quick help... i'd love to be a police officer, and I have been an upstanding citizen since my teenage years. I'm also a Glock Armorer, not sure if that is a plus or not but just wanting to throw that out there.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, and I thank you in advance.

POLICE OFFICER CANDIDATE
Thank you for submitting your Preliminary Background Application (PBA). Based on your results, we are offering you an opportunity to participate in the Expedited Testing Process. The process is designed to compress the testing process of highly qualified candidates within a few days' time. The number of candidates who will be scheduled for each session will be limited and based on a first-come, first-serve basis, as determined by the Personnel Department.
A session in the Expedited Testing Process will generally be held over four consecutive days (with the possibility of a fifth day for overflows as needed) so your commitment in successfully completing all the test parts as scheduled is critical. Should you fail a test part along the way, you will not continue in the Expedited Testing Process. The test parts will include: Personal Qualifications Essay (if you haven't taken this already), Physical Abilities Tests (Parts 1 & 2), Initial Background Process, Department Interview, Polygraph Examination, Medical Evaluation, and Written Psychological Test.
