Easy explanation, poor decision making in my younger years and both arms are tattoo'd. I've been at an overseas legacy for more than a decade with no problems wearing long sleeves. I'd just hate to jump through another set of hoops in order to fly in the states, only to be told "we wear short sleeve shirts around here, boy!"
I'm weighing up all my options at the moment, so if past dumb-ass behaviour is a stopper, I'd rather know now.

Personal choice.
However, at many airlines, if you wear the long sleeves you must also wear the jacket with them.
I know a couple pilots with arm tattoos.
Interview in long sleeves, show up to work in long sleeves.
