No visible tatoo's whatsoever. Neck, wrist, arm etc. Anything visible is a big no. I think you may need to consider getting it removed.

Hi all,

I am currently applying to Mixed Fleet while the application process is still open.

I was partly successful in application last year and attended an AD, i told them at the beginning of the day that i had a small 1cm tattoo on my wrist when asked and they said that that was fine, as it was small and covered by a plaster/watch they would see no inconvenience in employing me.

What has changed since then?!!

I am worried that I cannot submit my application now, even though last year the same marking was acceptable?

I have quite a few friends working for BA Mixed Fleet at the moment who all have tattoos on wrists or ankles, covered by make up and plasters. Any advice?!

Is anybody else in this situation?

Hey everyone,

Piercings are similar to tattoos (sort of) so thought I would post in here...
I have read a lot about female cabin crew piercings guidelines but not mens!
Are men allowed to have an ear piercing? Or must it be taken out when flying?

Thanks!

I have a tattoo of a compass on my back between my shoulder blades however at my AD they guy wrote down that it was on my lower back and explained i may need to wear a vest under my shirt if it can be seen through.
I have my uniform fitting next week and start training in 3 weeks and now i'm really worried that if my tattoo is visible through my shirt they will terminate my contract :(
HELP :(

Hello . My AD upcoming soon! I am a female and I have got a tattoo on my upper arm visible with short sleeve but definitely not with long sleeve! I'm quite worried! Is that a problem! I don't want to be sent home !

I love tattoos, I have 15 all together!
I am sure that you will be fine.
The world is changing and on the beach in Miami, I saw lots of crew with loads of tattoos too. Loads of girls have them, I think you have to hide them at work with clothes or make up maybe. Most young people today have many many tattoos.

Are you for real????

Why come on here and post rubbish such as this - on another thread you state that you "work nights in a meat processing factory near Slough" and you take home £1200/£1500 per month working seven days.

Now you come on and post that you are on the beach in Miami with "loads of crew" - totally deluded!!!!!

I have an assesment day scheduled and I am little bit worried about the tattoo and body piercing check, I do have a tatto in my right shoulder but with a short sleeve t-shirt (as the ones that I have seen on the pictures of some male flight attendants) on it is not visible at all, but I am still worried because I live in Madrid (Spain) and it would be awful to go all the way to London to be send back home before even starting the assesment.

Thx in advance guys!

If it is not visible while in uniform, it's not a problem. As I heard a recruiter say once, you can have a dragon covering your whole back and that will be fine, but the smallest of tattoos on your wrist for example, will not be acceptable.
