I have several tattoos, 2 of which are on my lower arms, and even though I dont mind them on other people, I regret them everyday of my life, and strive to keep them covered with warmup jackets, long sleeves, etc. I have never had a patient complain, they have thus far found them quite fascinating, however, I find them offensive to look at on myself, and feel that they give a false first impression of the type of person I am and the care I may give. I am an excellent nurse, and my care and knowledge are more than competant, but I know they are there, and that causes me great concern. To remove them is very expensive, and not an option at this time. So my advice to the youngsters out there is, if you have to get them, hide them very, very well.
