Virgin Atlantic has relaxed its policy on tattoos as they strive to hire upwards of 300 staff members in an upcoming recruitment drive.
The British airline will no longer require cabin crew to conceal their tattoos while at work, a first for any UK airline. Previous guidelines enforced staff to cover body art with long sleeved shirts.
“At Virgin Atlantic, we want everyone to be themselves and know that they belong. 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,” Estelle Hollingworth, Chief People Officer of Virgin Atlantic, said in a statement.
