Anyone have a sleeve they are required to cover for work?

Well, Matt, you're pretty much covered in ink, if I remember right.

Can you really buy tattoos at Amazon.com?  Just stick your arm up next to the computer screen and press the PRINT button. They will tattoo you through the internet?  LOL.

In my office I rarely 'see' a tattoo, but I know that some of the people have big ones that don't show.  Occasionally you'll see a small one.  I think one intern had his stomach tattooed, but of course you don't see those in the office.  Several younger fellows have them high up on their arms, but they don't show, even in short sleeves.

No Sly bear, I guess they dont. But perhaps I was telling a joke?

Now days , if they don't look like prison tat's , lol some of those are better than what you can get out on the street.  I am sorry if I missed what is your occupation ?  Before I comment further.

I practiced law with sleeves tattooed to about two inches above my wrists. Unless I wore extra long shirt sleeves with tight cuffs, my tattoos often peeked out. No one ever objected. All judges and lawyers I dealt with knew I was majorly tatted, as did most clients.  I had always worn long sleeves when working so that didn't cause me a problem.
As soon as I retired, I got my sleeve tattoos extended to my fingertips. That was my way of saying I am through working as a lawyer! Soon after my hands, I got my neck done. Then my head. The only regret I have ever had about my tattoos is that I ran out of room!

There is a young man I know who works in a franchised restaurant. I noticed that he always wears long sleeves whereas almost everyone else working there wears short pants and shirts. But his tattoos come really close to his wrists so they often peek out below his sleeves and he frequently has his sleeves pushed up to his elbows. I asked him if they required him to wear long sleeves. He said they did. I didn't ask how he got by pushing his sleeves up, but I suspect it's company policy to cover tats and local management really doesn't care.
