Brad Pitt Protests Firefighters' Tattoo Ban

2 months ago 24th Oct 21:01

Brad Pitt has apparently written to the fire department bosses in Los Angeles, asking them to change their new rule, which forces firefighters to cover up their tattoos.

The Hollywood star claims the policy compromises the safety of firemen and women, and he's asking their bosses to drop reconsider.

A source close to the tattooed actor tells Star magazine, "(He) thinks it's ridiculous that these guys who risk their lives to help people have these restrictions put upon them.

"He wanted to make sure the department heads knew that the people of L.A. don't care about tattoos - they care about them doing their job well."

Pitt is currently starring in Burn After Reading, a film which has had so far, huge commercial and critical success.
