Joel Madden Gets Tit for Tat

Posted Apr 27th 2009 3:07PM by TMZ Staff

Joe MaddenThe airline employee who made Joel Madden cover his tats before boarding a British Airways flight on Sunday in London is in deep trouble -- because B.A. is calling BS on him.

A rep for British Airways just straight up told us the employee is being reprimanded -- adding "we don't understand why the employee took it upon himself to enforce regulations that don't exist."

No word on the ink-hater's punishment -- but a date with Kat Von D sounds about right.

10. Whether you like tattoos or not, whether you like Joel Madden or don't like him, its wrong to discriminate against tattoos, religious wear, or any other personal body attire/art. What if next they would discriminate because they didn't like your hair color or anything else for that matter? This isn't the dark ages! I'm glad this guy is going to get some form of reprimand for his actions. If anybody reading this was put in the same situation for something so asinine they would be just as upset and embarressed. And FYI. Tattoos have been around for a long time and there is nothing wrong with them. If anyone has a problem with them then don't look. Problem solved.

11. Mike E - I know several educated, articulate, intelligent individuals with tattoos, and I proudly count myself among them. It's people who type in all caps with erroneous punctuation that are usually not very educated.
