Hey Everyone, I know this question has been issued in other areas in the forum, but all the answers seem to be 50/50 and I need a more local answer anyway. I really would like to become a nurse, but I have quite a few tattoos. The majority of them can be covered up with long sleeves, and a shirt that comes up a proper height. (Tattooed on my chest) But I have one on the side of my hand. My question is should I let this stop me? Do any of you know more about places I would be able to work with this? I Kind of find it hard to believe that if one was an extremely competent nurse and had a small visible tattoo, that would hold back their employment. I really just do not want to go all in to this with a "maybe" your employer wont care. And honestly, I do not even where to begin to start asking people except here. As far as getting it removed, right now I do not have the funds. And I honestly do not think it is sanitary to wear make up on it either. And please nothing like "tattoos are tacky," "If you wanted to be a nurse you shouldn't have done that.." It was a decision I made, and if you wish to discuss my tattoos and personal choices further, we can do that else where. Thank you everyone for your help.
