I was on Twitter the other day and I was watching Joel Madden talking about how he said he had to cover his tattoos up in order to fly on a British Airways flight on Saturday. They thought of them as offensive.

“Was just told by a british air person I can’t get on the plane till I cover my tatts,” Madden wrote. “Should I fight the power?”

He decided he would wear a long sleeved shirt on so he could board the plane.

“Yes i covered up to board the BA flight,” Madden tweeted later. “I didn’t want to miss it. And honestly i was embarrassed all the people were staring and laughing!”

“Its not my style to cause a scene I just had a convo with the BA guy told him how it was discrimination.  I’m gonna write a letter!!”

I know how he feels sometimes. I got a half sleeve last summer and I found that when I was wearing a t-shirt people would give me problems too. I have a koi fish on my arm. And from what I see on Joel his are all spiritual and I don’t see any naked one anywhere.

Do you think people have a right to discriminate like that?
