I'm not sure how visible tattoos will affect your ability to be a competent care giver? I fail to see how some ink makes you incapable of caring for the sick and dying. Unless your body art is completely innapropriate i feel like there should be no need to cover it. Cover them for your interview, but I don't see how they should affect your ability to hold employment. i have visble tattoos, I also have blue and purple in my hair. it has not affected my ability to gain employment and have even found that my hair color is an ice breaker for my patients and their families. Suggestions on long sleeves is, in my opinion, not a great option. sleeves should be above the elbow for best practice purposes as long sleeves can be portals for contamination and cross infection
