Get one below the elbow on the forearm that says in pink "Born to Lose". It will give the interviewer some talking material with you.

I think a better one would be "CEO Material"

That boat probably sailed long before he joined up.

But keep in mind that a few airlines still do their own medical exams (Some AAirlines take the medical to extremes). I'm pretty sure that the doctors don't care about tats and are not allowed to discuss any details with the company beyond pass/fail, but just FYI. Plenty of folks have them these days.

I'm pretty sure visible tats are actually forbidden by most airline's policy manual, so not only would that be a conversation starter (in a bad way) it would be disqualifying.

All it says in Delta's FOM is that all tats have to be covered up while at work. Shirt sleeve or bandage, the choice is yours.

Do the airlines really care about this? cuz honestly if they don't I'm getting it done like next week, other wise I will hold on. I know that the military does care about this, so that's why I'm asking.

Thanks

I have flown with several of our pilots with Tats that are hidden by a short sleeve shirt. The question is with the difficulty getting the jobs that you may want why take a chance on anything that might give an interviewer a pause for thought about you when they have a thousand people outside waiting for the same job. Good luck

I was think more of face/neck/hands...they probably wouldn't hire a guy who had to wear gloves ever day or a bandage on his forehead. Shirtsleeves should be fine, long sleeves would be doable but a potential PITA.
