I'm just wondering, lets say one was to have a small-moderately sized tattoo (of an airplane or girl or something), in a non visible area, such as the tricep/bicep area. Do you see this causing any problems as far as employment with an airline, or any one else?

Do not get a tat of an airplane. You will regret it, just ask my friend.

Lol who is your friend?

Maybe not an airplane, that might be dorky, but a nice car or girl or something?
 
Dude there was a guy at my school who had a 172 tato0 on his back. Nice guy, real nice guy. No one cared, they just called him 172.

Don't be that guy!

Get a hot babe or some cool anchors or tall ships, maybe a skull?
 
nevermind on my tatoo ideas, boy those suck. just get "mom" now that's tough!

If you get a tat of an airplane you will be by far the biggest loser on the internet.
 
Just to clarify guys, it is NOT going to of an airplane!
 
If I were to actually get a tattoo of an airplane, I would just resign myself to wearing a cool hat, and being first line to fly a twin beech for TAB. LMAO. However, a tattoo of a can of duff on my forehead might actually help me get hired, am I right?:D
 
Tattoo advice

If you find something you think you absolutely MUST have permanently etched into your skin, take the photo, drawing or whatever and place it in a drawer in your room. Take it out once a day and look at it. Do that for five years. If you still think after five years that you have the perfect image that MUST be permanently etched into your skin, the by all means, do so.
Trust me, your tastes change over time. Mine did and there's a plastic surgeon in Kahala who is glad that they did. That laser $hit is expensive.
 
I can tell you some stories about a woman who hung out a lot chasing pilots at a certain UPT base. Her tattoo was on her lower leg of a pilots helmet and oxygen mask/hose.

Looked more like an elephants head and trunks.
 
Only tatoo I want is if I somehow become a fighter jock. Then MAYBE I'll be cool enough. Of course, once I get it I'll realize that I'm just as dorky as 172 dude! (sorry 172 dude)

There was a chick at ERAU around 98-99, that had an F-15 tatoo'd just over her beaver. What a STUPID tatoo (no offense to Eagle guys).
I saw pix of that. I thought she was an academy wench???? Didn't the thing say "Daddy's little girl"?
 
Tattoos

I wouldn't get one on your bi-cep. The uniform shirts we wear sometimes have shorter sleeves than you'd expect. I wouldn't chance it. If a cheif pilot saw you, you'd be wearing long sleeves all summer long.
 
Once you have been with an airline over 10 years you are required to have the company logo tatoo on your butt. You get to choose which cheek.
 
A fellow pilot at my company has a tatoo of pilot wings (similar to the metal wings pilots wear) over the left side of his chest. I think it would've look better on the upper arm, but oh well.

What happens when the logo changes?

(PS: Tattoos are right up there with smoking and drinking on the list of Things I'll Never Do Because The Result Is Never Worth The Trouble.)
