No reason he will not be able to get the medical. Finding a job, assuming they can't be hidden, most likely will be a differant matter. The fact is, for the general public, meaning airline ticket buying public it is preceived as showing poor judgement.

JAL doesn't allow any visible tattos. If it doesn't fit under a long sleeve shirt you are out of luck.
A couple guys in LAX had them and had to wear long-sleeves year round.
In Japan the only people tattoos are gangsters.(Yakusa)

I think it is safe to safe say that any significant visible tattoes would prevent you from being hired at almost any airline. If you cover it up to get hired, expect to have to cover it up when in public view in uniform forever.

I'm getting a cool one, a P-47 from head on and too the side slightly wrapped around my arm with an FW-190 going down in flames! Can't wait! This answered my question, thanks guys.

Yea, how cool will it look in 20 -30 yrs. Besides if you have to turn to a life of crime if your aviation career doesn't play out, you do not want any identifying marks!!!
