I've got a friend thats moving back to Louisville from Washington state. He wants to work as an EMT here in Louisville but he has tattoos. He has both arms sleeved from wrist to shoulder.

Does anybody know the rules with visible tattoos are? I checked the city's website and no answer. I figure as long as they are covered up it shouldn't be a problem since that is what he does now.

He is working on it on his end to get an answer and I am trying here but I haven't found anything out. Tomorrow, I will make some phone calls but it's hard to get a straight answer from anybody.

Anybody?

I have a tattooed friend who was an EMT in Louisville and is now a firefighter. I don't think he's had any problems, but I will call him today and ask and then post his answer later.

I talked with my friend today and he said that he could be hired, but he would have to wear long sleeves to keep his tattoos covered. I hope this helps!

I wanted to add something if you're still checking into the forum- my friend called me up after thinking about it more and said he knows that Anchorage Fire and EMS will allow tattoos to show, and possibly yellow ambulance and Metro.

I will also pass that on to him about Yellow ambulance and Anchorage.

If possible, can you check with your friend and see if he knows when Louisville Metro will be hiring again? My buddy said he got told to apply and will be on a waiting list til whenever.
