One of our fire departments allows full sleeves the others as well as my agency say nothing below the elbow otherwise you have to wear long sleeves. Anything on the neck/face/hands is not allowed by all departments. The hospitals have similar policies for there employees.
If you want sleeves go for it but just be aware that you'll more than likely be wearing long sleeves whenever your at work. You should be wearing long sleeves at the interview so how would they know?
Tattoos, generally, are more accepted now by our generation. Problem with that is we deal with mostly older generations in EMS that aren't as accepting of them. Therein lies the problem.
I have a decent amount of ink. Script on my shoulder blade, a sleeve on my right leg and the starting of a half sleeve on my left arm but you wouldn't know it when you see me in uniform except for the slight peak out from under my short sleeve shirt on occasion.
