I read this on "Daily Headlines.net" yesterday. Has anyone else seen this or know if it's true. I don't like tattoos myself but I really hope Disney has not got that closed minded.

It was definitely not an April Fools joke...

I think they've always had a rule about tattoos depicting anything offensive not being allowed unless covered. Perhaps this is what is being referred to.
Edit: It does appear there was also an April fools joke about this that originated yesterday. http://www.snopes.com/2016/04/01/happy-april-fools-2016/

It made it on Washington Post's April 1st Compilation:

Check 17 under Fake News in the article above.
Any changes to Walt Disney World Rules and Regulations will be published here:

So remain calm. Also April Fools is the worst.

What I think is insane is the sheer amount of people who believe these kind of stories on April Fools.

I like to think that many people are mature enough to not buy into the April Fools crap and never really think about it. When they read something like that from a reputable source, why wouldn't they believe it? Weirder things have happened and actually Disney does ban tattoo's, or at least any that show, for Cast Members.

Obviously, Disney would never ban tattoos (especially since they seem to be becoming more commonplace in my experience) but I would love to see them be pretty strict about having people cover up offensive ones. I've seen a number of people at Disney parks with some pretty inappropriate tattoos being flaunted for a family environment.
Of course, even if you have them cover up at the gate, no real way to keep it that way while the guests are in the park.

I don't know. It could be as far as I know with new internet sites showing up on a daily basis. If not tuned into the April Fools stupidity, if I read that, and it isn't as far fetched as some might think, I might be inclined to ask if it were true or not. It appears to me that this is what the OP did. Run it up the flagpole to see if anyone salutes. If they are aware of the date and it's idiotic significance then they might be more savvy to the possibilities, if not, it would be a normal thing for people to do.

Even if it were legit, i doubt Disney would be able to honestly enforce it considering how people can just cover them up and they wouldnt know whether or not you had tattoos to begin with.
