Hi guys! This is my first post, so I really hope it gets to people! I am a 21 / F and I am applying for flight attendant positions in the United States. My only problem is that I have a visible forearm tattoo and most companies don’t allow visible tattoos. (Signature of Freddie Mercury for anyone wondering) I was hoping to find some good makeup suggestions to cover it up. Ty ty ty ❤️❤️❤️
I was an MUA until recently and have covered plenty of tattoos on clients for events/job interviews, I also have tattoos myself. I will start by saying this – it is not a quick 5 minute process to add to your morning routine. Its multiple steps and multiple products and can take considerable time if you’re doing it daily, even for very small tattoos. Depending on the size and saturation of the tattoo, you could be spending 30 minutes to an hour EACH DAY covering it up. There’s also no way to make it 100% budge proof. So there’s always a chance that all that work can be ruined by moisture (sweat, rain, a spill) or just by friction from clothing. So consider how much of a hindrance that could be for your daily life. If you still want to attempt, I’d be happy to recommend some products to cover it up. Otherwise I’d honestly say that if the uniform allows long sleeves, that’s a much safer bet for you.
Dermacol stage makeup makes excellent concealer for tattoos. It’s meant to be the worlds most full coverage foundation but I use it as concealer. I’ve tried it on some of my tattoos and it really works! Xx

I used Dermablend to cover my tattoos for wedding pictures, it works really well
