So much for dad's wisdom about doctors not having tattoos!
The whole perception about tattoos not being acceptable for professionals is rapidly changing.
The image that an airline tries to show is one of conservativeness usually, unless you are Southwest where different is appreciated, a culture in fact. I would be curious to know how Southwest feels about them.
But to your point about the ER doc, I do think they are becoming more socially acceptable and airlines will have to deal with millennials as employees in mass soon who have completely different ideas about evil corporations etc..
Finally, the military is tightening up tattoo policies as well. Here is a recent link.
