Contrary to what you may read on the web, we have proof of a tattooed airline pilot! They do exist!
We received this fantastic photo from a captain flying a Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 in the UK last week. Originally tattooed as two outlined stars, he had the airplane symbol added just after Christmas as a reminder of his childhood, counting the airport signs on the way to the airport for holiday.
He mentioned that the tattoo is usually covered by his watch, allowing it to be hidden when on the job.
Are you a pilot with an aviation tattoo to share? Send it to us at tattoosinflight@gmail.com!

No. I am a pilot and I have multiple tattoos all that can be covered while wearing a short sleeve shirt. Some companies operation manuals will force you to wear long sleeve even in summer if a short sleeve uniform will not cover up the tattoo. Every operator has their own rules when it comes to tattoos.
