tattoos on nurses?

Hello all,

I am currently working on getting into nursing school.

In my previous career as a hairdresser, it didn't matter that I had tattoos or burgundy hair. I understand that the healthcare field is much more conservative. I can change my hair color to a 'natural' color, that's not problem, but I do have large (and beautiful, in my opinion- a peacock and the other is an angel in full color) tattoos on my biceps. I am thinking that if I wear a uniform with a half or 3/4 sleeve, that will cover them.

So, I'd love to hear from other nurses who have tatoos and hear about their experience.

Do you think that standard will change in time, since so many young people are getting tattoos these days?

Thanks!
