Hi everyone. So, i have 3 tattoos, but they're in places where you wouldn't know i have them unless i told you. Would they hurt my chances of getting a job after nursing school?

How can they hurt your chances if no one can tell that they even exist?

Unless your plan is to show up nakey-nakey for your interview, I would say that the obvious answer is no.

Lol, i asked this question because I've heard from many people saying don't get tattoos if i wanna be a nurse. And i have 1 across the top of my back from my shoulder to my spine. I have one going along my collarbone, and i have one from my lower stomach to the top/middle of my thigh.

I have 2 tattoos and they have never hindered me career wise. You'll most likely be just fine.
