Can you be a surgical nurse and have hidden tattoos?


Can you be a surgical nurse and have hidden tattoos?

The only reason tattoos are even questionable in the workplace is because some people view them as unprofessional. But if these tattoos are hidden, then there is no chance of you looking unprofessional and it will be just fine. It is becoming more and more accepted to have tattoos. In the future it may even be acceptable to have visible tattoos in the business world. But anyway, nothing you do will hinder you as long as it's hidden.

Yes this should not stop you

Yes. They don't even have to be hidden these days.

Yes. No tattoos at all should stop any nursing position.

Sure, why not?

you can do what you want to.

yes and yes they do have to be hidden

Tattoos are so mainstream these days and if they're hidden, don't even think about it.

as long as they stay hidden, you can have a tattoo at any job

yes as long as they are healed?

I don't lnow about that job but people have been known to be fired for tattoes

i am an ex-nurse,i had 3 see-able tattoos,no one ever even mentioned it.i quit after chronic under-staffing/take over by a business oriented,not patient oriented nursing home organisation,not because my tattoos bothered anyone.most of the staff had tattoos.

Yeah, Why wouldn't you

why couldn't you be? The only problem I can for see is having a fresh tattoo and working .... maybe talk to an artist and see what they recommend.

yes... I have a number of friends in the medical field (doctor's, nurses, tech) that have tattoos.

In my world, yes.

you could have tattoos that were visible if you want to they will in no way affect your ability to do your job

yes, you can. as long as they're covered with the clothes you won't have any problems. i worked as a cma for 3 years and have tattoos. as long as you don't have them on your forearm, hands aso nobody will care. they just need to be not visible.

Of course!

NO WAY!!!

Tattoos take all of your accumulated knowledge away and you will not be able to do your job.

If they are hidden, who will care anyway?
