Spirit Airlines has officially updated its Contract of Carriage to crack down on lewd and offensive fashion choices and body art (aka tattoos) in an effort to curb provocatively dressed passengers who often go viral, at the airline’s expense.

Under the updated rules, passengers can now be denied boarding if they are barefoot, “inadequately clothed,” or wearing anything deemed obscene or offensive by airline staff.

Examples of prohibited clothing include see-through garments, exposed private areas, or outfits that reveal too much skin, such as uncovered breasts or buttocks. Even tattoos considered “lewd, obscene, or offensive” could be grounds for removal under the updated guidelines.
