I have a few that are hidden, but I also have a few on my hands from way back when in California... I personally think the one's on my hands are a distraction to people, seeing as I'm always asked about them. So about 6 months ago I decided to start getting them lasered off, let me tell you that hurts so much worse then getting the tattoo to begin with.:uhoh21:

I would love to get a small butterfly on the inner aspect of my right ankle, but have never worked up the nerve.

Why are these nurses' uniforms so ill-fitting and indiscreet that their abdomen is showing when their are bending and reaching!!?? People covered up is professional! You would not see a lawyer reaching up while explaining an evidence exhibit and exposing themselves... not even their waistline!!! Good grief!

I don't have any, but have thought of getting one. I'm kinda chicken!! I have family members who have some serious art and don't think there is anything wrong with having tattoos....HOWEVER, I do think that being in the health industry it is best to keep them covered. You do have to deal with the public and it's better to keep their fears at bay.

i've got sleeves starting on both arms, large portraits on both legs.... and i'm not about to stop.
and i won't lie: one (little but convenient) reason why i want to be a nurse is the higher wage i will receive, which will then fund my tattoo obsession. i'm an LPN, in school for my RN. i have been a CNA for 5 years now. i'm fine with wearing long sleeves at work: it's much easier to cover them up than deal with the multitude of different responses you can get from people.

I have a few tattoos. Let's see... going head to toe. I have a red tribal sun on the back of my neck. On the left of my neck (on the side) I have a few stars, a nautical star, and my zodiac (Gemini). On my left posterior shoulder I have a japenese symbol representing the word Crisis - straight from the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurses textbook from nursing shool. On my right wrist I have the dragon Smaug, from The Hobbit. On my left side I have a very large and detailed tattoo which I cannot describe in detail other than it involves the iron eagle and other things. On my anterior left hip I have another japanese symbol ... not sure what it means. I forgot. On my right anterior hip I have a playboy bunny which I got quite a few years ago. And lastly ... I have a very large colourful tattoo dragon on my right buttock. (= Still more to come!
Oh, I'm 22 years old and an RN.
