Nov 3, 201510 yr Question- In school we are required to cover up any tattoos while in the clinical setting. I have seen various nurses working who do not. Appropriate or not?If the facility has no rules about tattoos, then I guess the answer to whether uncovered tattos are "appropriate or not" is simply a matter of opinion. If employees are required to cover their tattoos, the point is essentially moot.
