TMZ has followed up with British Airways about the tattoo incident Joel Madden experienced when trying to board a flight to Lisbon this weekend. He was told he couldn’t get on the plane until he covered his tattoos. This story was picked up very quickly all over the internet and it has gotten back to BA.
A British Airways rep told TMZ that “we don’t understand why the employee took it upon himself to enforce regulations that don’t exist” and that the employee who asked Joel to cover his arms is being reprimanded.
Joel blogged about the incident on the Good Charlotte blog today too. He’s very surprised by all the attention it has gotten. He writes that he’s not going to file a complaint, he’s just never going to use the airline again.
