To wear the British Airways uniform to the
required standard with no visible tattoos or
body piercings. Tattoos or body piercings
must never be visible on the body or through
uniform clothing and MUST be able to be
covered. Only tattoos that can be reasonably
covered up are permitted. Plasters and
bandages must not be used.
I recently booked on to my assessment day and although I knew that BA didn't allow tattoos I thought that mine could be covered with a long sleeved shirt.
When I received my AD instructions I found the part regarding tattoos and realised this wasn't possible as they have short sleeved uniform. I sent an email to the recruitment team advising them of what I had found and that I thought I may have to drop out. I received a phone call from a really helpful lady (I didn't catch her name) but she explained that if I was able to cover my small tattoos (on my wrists) with good makeup they would still consider me.
If anyone is having a similar problem I would check before you write yourself off, if they see it you will be asked to leave, she made that very clear to me.
The plan would be to use the makeup to show that I can cover them, then if I'm lucky enough to be offered a job they will be lasered off.
I'm really hoping that all goes well on the 5th Dec and I will be working with some of you soon.

Hi Kirsty
You will be sent home immediately. I think my post is quite clear. It is not a case of "if I got the job". We do not accept tattoos outside the blue area regardless if you are going to wear long sleeve shirts or not. Have it removed completely before you apply for an assessment please. Otherwise you are wasting your time and money.
Hi
You say here that its wasting time and money, but its also wasting time, money and pain if not successful so its a chicken and egg situation.. If for the interview they are covered, say with watch or jewellery even cover makeup (assuming it can, not expert as a man lol ) then once its found to be successful then it can be considered. I fly with 2 tattoo's and its not a prob even though technically my back tattoo can be seen through BA's very thin shirts and is only ok I guess as I wear jacket/waistcoat/jumper.
So give the poster her due, its a valid question in my view as someone who works there.
When Mixed fleet first started any tattoo would not be allowed. This just shows that standard have dropped.
Good luck though to anyone who's applied, It's a great job, but sadly now only one for a year or so until you completely burn out with exhaustion and debt.
I have two large tattoos on both my feet, as you can imagine these are deemed a big no no. However i refused to let a stupid tattoo put me off doing this job and i just didnt tell anyone, didnt show anyone and i covered them up with stage make up. I got through the whole training course (including the wet drill) and have been flying with BA for over a year now. Lots of crew have tattoos and cover them. A lot of people tried to put me off even starting saying i wouldnt get very far without getting caught and i am so glad i didnt listen to them.
As long as you are sensible and cover them up when they need to be covered you will be fine!!!
HAPPY FLYNG
IMO xx
I also have a large one on my thigh but I can cover that one with make up because of the new rules I'm assuming it's fine ?
