As a dispatcher I come across a lot of pilots at work and I have to say I’m surprised by the number of pilots with tattoos that I’ve seen. More notably one right behind a young FO’s ear and one wrapping around another’s wrist. Admittedly they were flying for the same airline (not exactly the most professional one at that) so maybe they just have more laxed restrictions on such things. I am soon to start my flight training and do intend to get a tattoo in a coverable position.
I must add that the bigotry in this thread has really surprised me. In such a modern time it’s shocking to see such intolerance to something many consider very beautiful pieces of art. I hope the industry can move along with the times so to speak and realise that tattoos aren’t just for those who break the law.
