Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

I work for a city in Florida that is trying to institute a policy on tattoos. They are attempting to ban any new visible tattoos. As a public employee, does this policy violate my 1st ammendment right to freedom of expression? I understand that in the private sector, employers can pretty much do whatever they want (within reason), but what about us municipal employees?
