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/tattooedhopeful wrote: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.

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

Re: Hopeful hire question!
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.
My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

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. :)tattooedhopeful wrote:Thank you so much!

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Please keep your hands, arms, and legs safely inside the website at all times and enjoy your stay.

**this instance of hot means that you are now literally on fire, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for any inconvenience
