    Hello all, I'm about to get underway with sorting my STCW then hopefully soon after I'll land my first yacht job as Stewardess. However I'm slightly concerned with my tattoo that I stupidly had done to cover a scar on my left foot when I was 19 (I'm now 32 but thankfully people say I still look 20!) It's not massive but about 4 ladybirds crawling up a vine. As I say it's on my foot, will this be a problem for me? I have make up that I can use, but I heard you have to be barefoot to work on yachts. Thanks in advance xx

    It will not bother most but it will bother some. It is what it is. Just continue on as if no problem, and when it is, deal with it. Most things done to cover it are more conspicuous than the tattoo. Saying it was done to cover a scar is also in your favor.

    Larger boats often put the crew in shoes.
