The CP and tattoos?

[dopeyrunner]

All of your tattoos are beautiful! I've got a question..

I'm considering getting my thigh piece worked on before the CP. I took a Custodial position, so It's possible to wear pants each day. How survivable is this? Anyone done it? I had a buddy that said she usually preferred pants out there.

Hey I had custodial as one of my locations on my first program. We ( like everyone in my area) wore pants everyday. I never had a problem with them, except for that I we pull the men pants cause I hated the women pants. I am sorry but I was not going to rock any pleats. Just an FYI unless your at DAK your pants are going to be white. So when it rains if you get wet your going to be able to see through the pants. You may want to invest in some under armour heat shorts..

In my Disney Look Book it says that it cannot be covered up with make-up (not sure, maybe because you will sweat it off?)

I applied for the CP last season (for fall 09). I have a small (1 cm) tattoo on my hand and I told them that I have to cover with with makeup every day for work so I was experienced in it and the interviewer told me that certain roles don't allow that. She said I was only eligible for Character Performer, Hospitality, FSFB, and Merchandise. To me, those roles have as much guest interaction as others so that doesn't really make any sense to me. Also, one of my choices was Costuming, which is entirely backstage, but they said that wasn't a possibility with my tattoo. It seems the guidelines are a little backwards or murky when it comes to covering tattoos with makeup. Like everyone else said, be up front about it and see where it goes.

Maybe it's about the costuming in a particular role? As a performer you are covered head to toe (a tattoo will affect your abilit yto do roles in which your face shows, including parade roles that are not necessarily "face"). The others all sound like indoor roles so my guess is that if you cover with make up you have to perofrm a role that guarantees you will be indoors so ou don't sweat it off or it gets rained off. That is just a guess from looking at the info provided.

Even though costuming is backstage, they must still adhere to the same rules as everybody else. The only time I have seen things that maybe were not against the rules were women wearing hijabs (head coverings). I have never seen one onstage but have seen several in costuming. I don't know if this is by coincidence or design, but other than that costumers have to follow Disney Look just like everybody else (as do all backstage roles). They are still considered to have "guest contact" but in this case the Cast Members are the guests.

I didn't even think about those being indoors. That makes sense. Thanks.
