Cabin crew on Virgin Atlantic flights will no longer have to cover their tattoos on arms or legs to go to work.
Now only offensive tattoos or face, neck and head tattoos will have to be covered
Many praised the decision, with one responding to the tweet: ‘I care about the friendly, professional service that I have always received @VirginAtlantic and not what someone looks like. Allowing you flight attendants to be themselves is a breath of fresh air.’ However, some took exception such as one man who wrote: ‘It’s a no from me. Crew are there primarily for our safety not to display their body art.’
‘Many people use tattoos to express their unique identities and our customer-facing and uniformed colleagues should not be excluded from doing so if they choose.
