Can firefighters in Canada have tattoos?

Question

I want to be a firefighter, but when I was younger I had some artwork done, and of course being nieve, there are some non-offensive pieces that are visible (wrists, temples). Is it an issue for a Canadian firefighter to have tattoos? I just don't want to spend the college money on it if it is an issue...

Answer 1

Easiest way to find-out is go down to your city hall and ask.

Answer 2

I would probably choose to get a tattoo of the infinite sign with the quote "And in that moment, I swear we were infinite" from a book I read called The Perks of Being A Wallflower. I'd probably put it somewhere around my rib or hip area.
