i have 4, newest one just on wednesday, a heart on rt of neck just below hairline.
a frog on rt ankle, chinese symbol on spine 1/2 way up my back i want to cover now. and my favorite, a partial ring of ivy above the chinese. it was freehanded, and i've had more compliments on it than anything. i got that one and so did my friends after we passed our grueling i.v. therapy course.

I think bare skin is the sexiest thing! So, no tatoos for me! Hubby has three (one is actually covered by another.) I don't mind them but he has agreed to no more.

i have a small lizard on my right hip. i was thinking of getting a pink ribbon on my wrist, but it isn't very professional.

I don't have any tatoos. I don't mind seeing them on other people though...some of them are pretty, some interesting...some funny. I think I am not getting one just because I would probably get bored of it after a while...also thinking that if I put some weight on (maybe getting pregnant one day hehe) then it would look distorted... I don't really mind the idea of being 80 and having these tatoos ...who cares then, you've been popular and hip while it mattered, right? But yea, as I said, I would get bored of it after a while so then what's the point. I can just look at pretty pictures or other people's tatoos...probably not going to have one any time soon.

I have a horse on my hip that only my hubby sees, and - guess what - a fleur-de-lis on my ankle! It is covered by scrubs, and I always wear knee hi socks so it won't show if I cross my legs. I will probably end up with more, it is true that they are addictive, but out of respect for the varying tastes of my patients I will make sure none are visible when in uniform!

I have several. even on my hands.....be honest, should i be worried? Because I LOVE them. And i really want to be a great nurse.

I have two tattoo's neither can be seen when wearing scrubs. I have no problem with tattoo's when done in moderation.

i unfortunately don't have any tattoos yet. But i'm just trying to decide on the exact design i want. I do however have my ears pierced 13 times (7 in my left, and 6 in my right) As well as my nose. All of which i wear at work, and i've never had a patient say anything bad about my piercings, they actually work quite well as conversation starters
