Will los angeles county fire department hire me?

I have search over and over and can’t find any useful information regarding Tattoo policies. I am a full time firefighter with a tattoo sleeve on my right arm. Would LAFD or any other big city fire department hire someone with tattoo sleeves?

I will be moving on to a bigger department and was just curious if my art work would prevent me from getting hired. I don’t mind wearing long sleeves, and all of my art work is job related. Any advice would be great.

Call the depts that you are lookin at direct and ask

As long as you wear a long sleeve shirt. No need for them to know.

I have heard that guys with sleeves had to wear long sleeve shirts during their entire tour. I guess it would depend on the attitude of the house (station) and the bosses.
