Labor and delivery. I guess it depends on your employer, but I doubt it would be a problem unless they would be visible all the time. One of my coworkers has this really cute tattoo of a monkey, falling down from the hairline at the back of her neck, and it's no problem at all. Lots of nurses have tattoos on their lower back and other covered places. As long as you're not offending anyone, you should be fine. :)

Most health care employers require you to cover visible tattoos. So, if you don't have them already, I suggest you only get them in places that are easily covered by normal clothing. Otherwise you may spend the next 20 years wearing a bandage or bandages while you are at work.
