Wrist tattoo in Nursing

[futurenurseLisa]

Is it bad too get a wrist tattoo when being a nurse? I'm thinking of getting one like this. Maybe I could cover it up with a watch ?

I have tattoos. Turns out that due to "discrimination policies" they can't do anything about it. In the job interview I covered them up :)

Deff hide any tatt's during the interviewing process.

Nurses have them where I work. I feel most facilities have a ''no visible tattoo'' policy, yet it is the individual unit's atmosphere regarding their display.

I don't have one, but I went through a phase of wanting one on my wrist and obsessively Googling how much it'd hurt and it basically depends on how well you deal with pain You can get it numbed but I've heard that it may impact how long your tattoo takes to heal.

Also it is so cute and elegant !! I saw cool in tattoo journal

How does a tattoo fall under discrimination? You choose to get the body modification, you choose where to put it, so since it's your choice I'm pretty sure if they didn't want someone with tattoos they would get rid of them. Being covered in tattoos is not a protected class, it's a choice.

I have a tattoo on each of my wrists, I would wear long sleeve compression shirts made for hot weather running while working. However, in nursing school I did not need to cover my tattoos up and within the past month my hospital has released the "no show" policy. More and more hospitals are lifting the ban on non offensive tattoos. So if you want it, do it. Just make sure it is what you want!
