Tattooed flight attendants

[Snakum]

I say "no tattoo", as well. It just simply does not fit with the polished, professional image most corporate owners rightfully expect. She'd not be hired if I was the CP. Sorry.

And that's why mine stay covered up when flying.

I would have to so to the visible tattoos. All the flight crew should present themselves as professionals. You don't see your CEO or any other high profile company person showing tattoos. Having said all that I have two tattoos and they stay covered up while flying as well.

How about a CP with the tatoo? Funny as where I used to work the tattoo thing was not that unusual. FA's and some pilots. I agree, if it were my shop, it would be an option. Back in the 60's, I know, I know, I'm way to old to be hanging around this board, but anyway TWA would not hire you as a pilot if you had a visible tattoo.

Does anyone have that link to the SNL skit that showed how the lower back tattoo on the the old broad and how she was trying to get rid of it. One of the funniest skits ever on SNL.

Wonder if the guys at Harley Davidson's flight dept. are allowed to wear 'em.

Buddy of mine once told me those lower back tattoos actually all say the same thing....

"...put D1ck here...."

So,... I guess nose piercings and nipple rings are right out??
As a side note, I am starting to see more military pilots with tattoos.

I'm old school...ink is for ex-cons...there is no such thing as "tasteful"

I see ink and I think scumbag...

Agree. Unless you're a professional seagoing type, I see tattoos and think . . . jerkoff seeking attention, criminal, or druggie.

Tattoos on women are just wrong. They're scream "cheap", "easy", "hick", and "dumb." I were dating again, I wouldn't give a woman with a tattoo a second look. Completely and totally UN-classy.

I think this is an age old debate of conservative vs. liberal lifestyles/views. I have a tattoo on each ankle, that I covered with uniform pants when I was on duty as an F/A. I'm not cheap, easy, hick, or dumb, and rather resent the implication...they both have a special and personal meaning to me and they are simply an expression of my personality. Again, its just a matter of personal taste and if its offensive or against company policy to have them visible then simply wear a uniform that covers them up while you're on duty. The airline that I was working for had it stated in thier company policy that if you had tatts, you had to cover them while on duty. Simple.

I dont think its up for much debate. If you have one or more, hide them like, yourself. If you choose not to hide them, then I think we would have to put these folks in the WT catagory.
