Hopeful hire question!

Post by tattooedhopeful » Tue Jan 10, 2012 9:33 pm

Okay, so I know this is more of a "tell funny stories about things that happen in the park" forum, but I was directed here by a former WDW cast member in hopes that I'd get the best answer for my questions. :]

I'm 20 years old, and I really would love to be a face character, but due to the three tattoos on my arms (one on each wrist, one on my upper bicep) that I got when I just turned 18, that pretty much isn't possible. Would it be possible, since I'd be in a full costume, that I could be a fur character? If I wore long sleeves, even in summer, could I be an attraction operator or a photopass photographer? I know Disney looks down on tattoos, and I really should have thought of that before I got them, but this is literally my biggest dream, and I still have hope to fulfill it. Someone please tell me there's a chance? haha.

Take a look at the official rules: http://cp.disneycareers.com/en/about-di ... sney-look/

But basically as long as they can be discretely covered, you are good.

Thank you so much! I guess before I interview and move down there, I'll have to buy a bunch of long sleeved white shirts and some dermablend. haha.

I'm guessing since fur characters have full body costumes, tattoos don't matter for them.

:sgthello: tatooedhopeful. Please stand by for your safety spiel. With any luck, that will burn the tatoos right off, but then you won't have a face to be a face character, either. :o:

Make-up Artist friend of mine tells me he is trying to market his tattoo/burn/blemish cover-up.Drew Barrymore used it. It's supposed to be breathable and last for days. I'll get his info to anyone who is interested. :)
