    I am visibly tattooed...heavily as well. My head , face , neck , hands , knuckles are all tattooed...I run local though. I've talked to a few companies around my area about my ink and they didnt seem to mind..

    I've got three visible. Two on my inner forearms and one around my bicep, the rest all get covered up by a t-shirt. I suppose most would say I could hide them easily but I don't wear long sleeved shirts too often, which would only hide the one anyways as I always roll the sleeves up. So I guess there are two that will always be there. I always told myself I wasn't going to put anything on my forearms for this very reason but eventually I just said pluckit and had some done. I put 'em there for a reason, not about to start covering them up :)

    Right arm is a heart with my daughters name in it and left arm says MOLON LABE. Neither of which anyone should have a problem with.

    I never even thought about the tattoo thing. I guess I should double check with my recruiter just to make sure. Never thought it would be an issue. I also have my neck done and a bottom halfsleve on my arm and leg. Everything can almost be hidden besides my neck. I guess I figured home depot didn't care and I seen alot of our freight drivers with them so didn't think it would be a problem.

    I never found ink to be the mark of a man. I like karate better. I weigh only 187 but I enjoy trucking. I am a right side starter. Need all my weight to kick start a 125 inch S&S. Yea I have a kick start because I want it. It's a thing I do.

    My Dad had a tattoo of a sailing ship on his arm. He told me, don't do it. So I didn't. My truck, bike does my biding. I'm not special, but I'm working on it.

    I haul freight from ships. I enjoy helping others have what they need. Cops don't like me. My brakes are right, my log book is current, my bed is made. I'm the anti Fine trucker. I adjust auto slacks on the trailer I drag. I love me.

    My hubby has three, one very visible on the inner forearm. He's never had any problems.
