BA regards it's staff as being 'Brand Ambassadors' at all times when on duty; this includes stopovers in other countries where tattoos are not so easily accommodated as they are in the UK. In Japan for instance people believe that tattoos have a direct association with a criminal lifestyle
If applicants have visible tattoos they will not be hired by BA.

Just read in the paper of a young girl who had applied to British Airways for a job and at the interview she admitted she had four tattoos 'they are discreet and girlie'. Her interview was terminated at that point.
I wonder what Gransnetters think.
To get the ball rolling I think BA were right - tattoos in my opinion are cheap and tacky. I am waiting to be bombarded by tattoo lovers !
