Can you be a commercial airline pilot if you have sleeve tattoos?

Can you be a commercial airline pilot if you have sleeve tattoos? I've heard if you wear long sleeves you will be fine but just curious if there are some commercial pilots that have any experience with this.

There's nothing in the FAR's about tattoos. Tattoos might hinder you in the interview process with a company, if the people interviewing you feel that tattoos do not present the right image to the public. Becoming an airline pilot is a highly competitive process and if faced with choosing between two equally qualified applicants, tattoos might influence their choice.

  • What is the best path to becoming a commercial airline pilot? I have heard going into the Navy or Naval Officer Academy is a great way, but i'm still not sure.
  • Can I become an airline pilot for a major airline if I go to college for a computer science degree (Bachelors Degree)? And also why is their so much debt in order to be a airline pilot? Is it because of people choosing the "go to college for aviation" sort of route?
  • Can I be a commercial airline pilot if I take Prozac for ocd? I've recently decided to go down the path of becoming a commercial airline pilot, but I just wanted to know if I would be medically cleared by the faa if I take Prozac for ocd. My OCD has never been debilitating I've worked as a firefighter for about a year and have come across some very stressful situations but I've always kept my cool. I know that I should really ask a physician this but I was just wondering if anyone could give me any kind of answer, much appreciated.
  • How do I become a commercial pilot? I have some questions in this regard: 1. Can I get a CPL by completing 250 hours on any aircraft such as the cessna 172 or a particular aircraft is required? 2. After getting my CPL can I join an airline as a FO before getting an ATPL? 3. What kind of course will I require to convert from the cessna 172 to an airliner such as the 737? And what is the average fees for such a course? 4. What else will I require after getting my CPL to fly as a FO for an airline?
