Default Tattoos

Hello everyone this is my first post.

My name is chris, i have been a skydiver and paragliding pilot for about 6 years now, and have been fascinated with aviation for a long time now. Ive been kind of really trying to make my mind up with what my next move is gonna be and im going to start by taking a discovery flight in the next 2 weeks out here in the bay area. If i enjoy that, which i KNOW i will, im probably gonna book ground school after researching some schools out here and then when i find the right instructor i will probably start paying for a few hours out of pocket for fun.

I am getting out of the USCG in 2 years, and luckily ill have a flight program paid for by the good old unck

Before i even consider what my future options might be, my very first question is this:
on my left arm, my bicep is tattooed, and from my elbow down to my wrist i have a sleeve that covers about 90 percent of that arm in color.

Will visible tattoos have a negative affect on employment potential in commercial, corporate, regional, or EMS operations? Are most employers traditional in the sense of visible tattooes = unprofessional?

anyone's insight would be of great help.
thank you for reading my novel

Does long sleeves cover it? I know lots of guys that have tattoos and just always wear long sleeves.
