Tattoos
I have 3 tattoos on my body. 2 which can always be covered up and one which, can only be covered up if I wear a longsleeve shirt. My intent is to work for an airline however, I would always wear a long sleeve or jacket in the public eye. When I'm in the flightdeck I plan on taking off my jacket or wearing a long sleeve shirt still. My question is will this present a problem when it comes time to interview for an airline job. Also, would it be considered unprofessional to have a short sleeve shirt in the flightdeck with visible tattoos to a captain? FYI all the tattoos are of good taste I have one on the arm, one on the back, and one on the forearm which, completely covers it. THANKS!

Ray,
Slice is right. This is a conservative industry by nature. No ifs, ands or buts, your tattoos must be covered for the interview.
It's a good idea to cover them while in public (flying) as well, but this falls under the individual company policies.
Hope that helps!
