My charge nurse and several others on my floor have visible tattoos. Most will wear long sleeves if they have extensive work.

Of course you can, I have a visible tatoo(s) and I work in a corporate position.

I dont see a problem with it. As long as it's not explicit that would offend a patient.

Please check out Tat Jackets. Google it. I ordered a case of them for my heavily inked department and they work great.

It shouldn't be a problem. Doesn't sound like yours is large or offensive

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.

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.

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!
