Does anyone here have or want tattoos???

Published

I was just wondering who here in Nursing school or Nurses has tattoos or maybe planning on getting some in the future. I currently have 3 ....the one on my upper right arm is a tribal with a pink rose and four blue rose buds that represent my four boys with their names above the buds....the next one is on my upper left arm it is a tribal armband with 3 hibiscus flowers (still needs some more work) and I also have one on top of my left foot it is a tribal with two flowers and vines. They are not noticable at all unless I wear a tank top and flip flops. I have seen alot of nurses that I have worked with have tattoos... of course they are not easily seen and also alot of my fellow classmates have them as well. Just curious to know how many "INKED UP" students and nurses are on here.:rckn::lol2:

Got 18 tattoos here. Most of them are hidden by my scrubs but I am working on another 3/4 sleeve, my left arm from shoulder down to elbow already covered. Nothing offensive, actually they have helped me bond with my older pts(Its a military thing). I am very proud of my tats sometimes I get the stink eye from the hospital higher ups and older nurses. Other than that its all good.

I have a tattoo on my hip bone of my grandparents initials. I want to get another, they are so addicting:lol2:.

I have three... one on my lower back, and one on each wrist. I'm starting nursing school in August and I'm sure I'll have to cover up the wrists; I have a feeling I'm going to be investing in Coban or something like that, as I'd rather not wear long sleeves every day, but we'll see what The Rules are once I start. I love 'em... haven't regretted them a day of my life, but I know they're still frowned upon.
