I have 2. A rose on my Left ankle and a 4-leaf clover on my Right foot.

I have two, but they are covered by most of my clothes.

I have one on my left ankle. Its a pink heart with two purple roses. I want one on my lower back but I haven't figured out what design that I want yet.

I have 4- A phoenix on my shoulder, a wolf on my left thigh, a sun symbol with my zodiac sign in the center(on my upper arm) and a pentacle with vines weaving through it on my ankle. I am also thinking of a fifth to commemorate my graduation from nursing school...

I have 2--and both are concealed @ work 100%
The first is a small Tweety Bird directly below my ribcage--I've had it since 1994. The second is an 'anklet' of barbed wire around my left ankle--got it in 1998.

Yep--I wish I didn't have them. One day, when I'm incontinent & in a nursing home somewhere, I'm sure it will be tpoic for conversation.

Would I ever consider getting more? Absolutely NOT. I regret the two I have.

I have 2 right now--my son's name on my right arm and a heart w/a Kanji symbol in the middle on my right hip.

I plan on getting something on the back of my neck, right below the hairline, as well as a small picture under or near my son's name (maybe Pisces). Also when I have other kids I'll get their names as well.

I also have my nose pierced, but that's another poll.

i dont have any tattoos right now but i have my tongue pierced, I had both of my ears pierced but i removed them to have the more professional appearance

I have my tongue, ears, and navel pierced. I had my labret pierced but took it out a while ago, may get it repierced after graduation, dependant on hospital policy. I have 2 tattoos- a buterfly on my lower back, and a vine that starts on my left thighand ends on my right shoulder- in progress. I still have a few leaves to get colored in, all the flowers need color, and my right shoulder hasn't been started yet. It will have the rest of the vine weaving through a pentacle. One more month!!!

I plan on getting fully sleeved throughout the course of my career, and if that requires me to wear long sleeve jackets, oh well. But I think as society becomes more accepting, the need for cover ups will diminish. I hate reading posts that tattoo'ed individuals are unprofessional. The color of my skin, whether it be genetic or by choice, has absolutely nothing to do with the way I conduct myself in a professional setting. As long as it does not present a heath risk to my patients, there should be no problem.

The reason I took my earrings out is because i work in a LTC facility and some of the elderly ladies (who have a hard time with a "male" nurse) have a problem with you having piercings as well they think you are a "hoodlem" or the like.. I kept my tongue ring in because its harder to notice.. In general I don't think its a problem personally for nurses to have piercings or tattoos male or female. I just think it puts some of the patients at ease to not have them.

I have 7. I have a dolphin bracelet on my left wrist, a dolphin inter-looped with a quarter moon on my left calf, I have a heart with a dolphin on the top of my sternum, a dolphin across my lower back, I have a heart with a rose going through it on my right upper arm with my grandma's name, I have a baby grumpy care bear with my son's name under it on my left upper chest, and I have my best friends initals on my right upper chest...she took her own life at the age of 14. I am in Nursing school and I am able to cover up the bracelet tattoo with a watch, and nobody says anything about the one on my neck. And I work at a hospital and most pt's seem to like them.
