How long before we start seeing tattoos on Disney CM's?

But it would have been acceptable and in character. Just as it was for Maui to have tattoos because he suffered from a superiority complex.

Maui is half god and half mortal. It's easy to assign characteristics to such works of fiction as it was with the Genie in Aladdin or the gods in Hercules. Clearly Maui has very low self esteem due to his overwhelming insecurity and his personality is very flawed. And, of course, due to his ability to shape shift he can get rid of the tattoos at any time he desires.

So long as he stays in the shape he shifted to. His tats stay on his human form .

Note at 2:47, his shark half seems to have some tattoos on it...

So tattoos are a religion?

In some society's yes tattoos are part of their religion...

Walt famously wanted his cast members to be "part of the show," not the show itself. If there is something about a cast member's physical appearance that is distracting to the show around them, it shouldn't be permitted. This is how tattoos were seen. Sadly they've relaxed so many of the other rules over the years because of changing cultural trends and a lack of labor resources.

That's a fair point.

I just don't think that's what people are talking about here. Although for some the Disney tattoos might be considered part of a religion.........

I think there is a real religion based on Star Wars too! or at least on the Force, something like that....

I think it would be acceptable and in character for a Disney villain such as Brom Bones or Gaston to have multiple tattoos. However it would not be acceptable for a Disney hero or heroine (such as Snow White) to have tats. Popeye is accepted because he has a very low intellect and social status. He's a sailor and they're expected to have tattoos and other bad habits such as smoking a pipe.

Perhaps you underestimate the rabid Disney fan's capacity for involvement in the Disney universe...

Lol apparently!

I think Disney will always make CM cover tattoos. Mainly bc of how it may offend people. And when you talk about what night or might not offend someone it’s a grey area, so it’s best to just avoid it. And that’s what they do. And should continue to do. Most tattoos are easy to cover. Don’t get a visible tattoo or cover that visible tattoo of you want to be a CM. It’s simple.

You'll see it when they start putting tattoos in the movies

They used to be against any facial hair whatsoever. The they allowed mustaches, and the world didn't end. Now they allow full beards, and don't have any problem with it.

Times (and standards) change . . .

So, like... now?

There was a time when that mattered. Taking a moment to savor the fact it's gradually dying out.

We were there last summer as a family and there were two men in Hollywood Studios working in shops who had the same skirts and tops on that most of the females were wearing. I had to look twice to make sure but sure enough they were men. One was 20 something and the other was around 40’s I’m guessing. I then had to explain to my son who was asking why the guys were wearing dresses like the girls. There were ladies in pantsuits there also. Anyway I was surprised a little but not ready to explain to my young kids about people’s clothes on vacation.

So...was this a costume? What kind of shop?

Ladies in pantsuits? (gasp!)

I have had second thoughts. I guess if a tattoo is tastefully done, I see no reason why CMs can't have them. After all it is an art form.
