i think that generally nursing schools are more strict about visible tattoos and piercings than the hospitals. My school allowed on earring in each ear, but did not specify size. tattoos had to be covered.
0 gauge is about as big around as a pencil. I stretched to that size over the course of two years, very sloooowly! I think that slow and steady is the way to go when stretching. I went even slower than neccessary because I am a total jewelry freak! I choose very carefully beautiful, high quality jewelry and I like to wear it for a while.
I would love to have a tattoo with pooh kind of floating up holding on to balloons. I want my kids initials in the balloons. I have always gone back and forth where to put it. I like the idea of above the sock on the side. I don't know when I will get it but I want to do it.

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 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.
