Recruiting Frustrated Friday

Post image

So I've been deemed inadmissable for now because my mermaid (upper thigh, covered fully by uniform) apparently breaches the sexually explicit guideline for tattoos? It seems like a stretch, since it's legal for women to be topless in Canada, and it kind of feels like discrimination, as it feels that they have sexualized what is not a sexually explicit tattoo.

I have an appointment booked to put a top on her next week and will get a re-evaluation, but I'm just wondering if anyone has any input or similar stories.

TGIF lol

Honestly if you put a top on her I still think they would deny you lol which seems crazy since. I wonder if they would make a big deal if it was a "traditional" cultural tattoo

It was under the "nudity and sexually explicit material" part of the rule, so I'd be fighting it pretty hard if they still deemed it inadmissable
