Being a professional with tattoos?

Rating:
(votes: 0)


Can you be a registered nurse in a hospital or doctors office with a small tattoo on your wrist? It can be covered with a watch if needed or long sleeves? Does anyone know nurses with visible tattoos?

Comment:
My charge nurse and several others on my floor have visible tattoos. Most will wear long sleeves if they have extensive work.
Comment:
Of course you can, I have a visible tatoo(s) and I work in a corporate position.
Comment:
I dont see a problem with it. As long as it's not explicit that would offend a patient.
Comment:
Please check out Tat Jackets. Google it. I ordered a case of them for my heavily inked department and they work great.
Comment:
It shouldn't be a problem. Doesn't sound like yours is large or offensive
Comment:
Depends on the hospital. Mine is super strict about visible tattoos. If you cover it up, they have no problem at all. Simple as that.
Comment:
I interviewed a nurse for a med surg position. She comes to the interview in scrubs and she has a tattoo on her chest. Thank you but no thank you. It's the price you pay when you get tattoos in places without thinking.
Comment:
McLennan- thanks for the TatJacket recommendation! I work in homecare now, and always wear long sleeves even in summer to cover a tattoo that goes to my elbow. I will be MUCH more comfortable being able to wear one of these with a short sleeved scrub top on those 90 degree days!
