Passengers flying Spirit Airlines should double-check their attire—and tattoos—before heading to the airport. The low-cost carrier has introduced stricter boarding rules, adding tattoos to its list of potentially prohibited elements. Spirit’s new conditions of carriage now explicitly state that passengers with lewd, obscene, or offensive tattoos may be denied boarding.

This policy extends Spirit’s existing restrictions, which include barring passengers who are “barefoot or inadequately clothed.” Inappropriate clothing is defined as see-through garments or outfits that fail to cover private areas, including breasts and buttocks. Spirit now stands apart from other U.S. airlines by addressing body art in its policy.

While competitors like Delta, United, and Alaska Airlines maintain rules against offensive clothing, none explicitly mention tattoos. For example, Delta Airlines warns it may refuse service to passengers whose attire “creates an unreasonable risk of offense or annoyance.” Similarly, United Airlines prohibits passengers who are “not properly clothed” or wearing lewd or obscene clothing.

Spirit Airlines’ move to regulate body art has sparked debate about enforcement. Aviation industry expert, Karen Johnson, says, “Tattoos are highly subjective. One person’s offensive design might be another’s self-expression. It’s a difficult rule to implement without sparking controversy.”

Passengers with tattoos deemed offensive face significant travel disruption. While Spirit has the right to enforce these policies as a private company, travelers are advised to cover up any potentially contentious tattoos before boarding.

This change reflects a growing trend among airlines prioritizing passenger comfort. However, the decision raises questions about freedom of expression and how airlines balance this with the comfort of other travelers.

Spirit’s stricter stance on body art could set a precedent, leaving passengers wondering whether other airlines will follow suit. Until then, it’s best to dress conservatively and avoid tattoo trouble while flying.
