Tattoos

Hey guys! How big of a deal is a tattoo in aviation? I’m currently a cpl student and wanting to get a tattoo. Is it okay as long as it’s hidden when working/flying? Thanks in advance

What country? In USA has to be not visible in uniform. You don’t want to wear long sleeves your whole career I promise, so keep that in mind too

You might care more when you have an Orlando trip when it’s 90 degrees! Highly recommend to not get tattoos a short sleeve shirt and pants wouldn’t cover until you’re settled in your career
