haha... after reading this forum, I feel a little more comfortable about choosing nursing as a career. My situation seems to be a little different than everyone else's though. After I turned 18, I started apprenticing under a local tattoo artist and remained a devoted member of the studio for almost a year, along the way aquireing quite a few tattoos and piercings (lebret, gauged ear lobes, the largest being the 0g in my left ear). It seems that unlike the people that wrote the posts that i read, I have what could be considered sleeves and half sleeves. for starters, my left forearm is wrapped with 6 inch blue and white flames, and I don't intend on stopping there, just because of my love for the art. I live in KY, does anyone else live in the state that can give me some insight on their policies?
