As someone in the plastic surgery industry, we do not employ anyone with visible tattoos. With our clientele and concierge service visible tattoos and facial piercings are not permitted by our employer.

It's interesting that certain industries just don't allow it.
Just out of curiosity...Would henna be allowed?
@Nurse Practitioner 1, I wholeheartedly believe that some people have tattoos in places no one can ever see, except for them, naked, in front of a mirror. I'm confident that someone in your “circle” has a tattoo that you just do not know about. Some people get them for their own knowledge, and it is sacred just to them! I, personally, have numerous tattoos, including on my bicep and L. ventral forearm. With over 17 years of experience as a CCMA, I have witnessed the positive changes within our healthcare system regarding staff hair styles, tattoos, and much more. Throughout my career in aesthetic/reconstructive surgery, urgent care, and dermatology, most of my tattoos have been brought up in conversations with patients, alleviating their fear during treatments. Additionally, my tattoos have helped me connect with patients who have experienced infertility and the joy of rainbow babies. I consider myself privileged to have formed lasting friendships with these amazing individuals. Tattoos are not unprofessional (unless offensive) and nor are they a distraction. Such thinking resembles the notion that girls cannot wear tank tops in school because their shoulders/arms would be too distracting for the boys. I respect differing opinions, but I do hope that they do not hinder the opportunity to meet incredible people. Tattoos do not define a person; rather, they represent a significant moment in that individual's life.!
Like someone said, Personal Opinion. What people have on their bodies or not as long as it is not offensive should not affect their ability to do their job or to be judged by anyone. If they are able to do their job and be Professional and Respectful what does a tattoo have to do with any of it! As long as Do No Harm and taking care of the Patients is at the center of everything that you do. What does anyone’s opinion of being disrespectful/respectful have to do with anything when it comes to your personal choice of having a tattoo or two. You can’t go around and expect people or your peers to feel the same way that you do! If someone chooses not to have a tattoo for their own personal reasons then that’s their choice, but if they do than simply said it’s their choice. If it offends anyone, than don’t look at them. Management would be all over it, if it was directly affecting the employees job performance and expectations or the image of the company! There are far more important issues like staff shortages and back orders happening in the workplace to be stuck on the Tattoo Debacle.
I'd rather see a healthcare professional with tattoos then long nails. Tattoos won't cause your patient to get an infection but long finger nails can.
And to the nurse practioner 1 that says they aren't normal and we lack nurses so we are hiring people with tattoos. You are living in a bubble if you think tattoos make you unprofessional. I have over 10 and work for a very large hospital in their corporate offices. I train every single person hired... but yeah my tattoos are the problem.
I agree, long nails are a health hazard because they can’t be cleaned enough to prevent the transmission of unseen infections. This is an undebatable fact. The day they say that infections jump off of one person’s tattoo to the next and can provide undeniable facts, then I’ll agree that tattoos should be restricted. But for now, this has not been proven. The only thing that really matters is if the tattooed person can do their job effectively. If the client (patient or customer) has an issue with the appearance of someone providing a service, they have a right to take their money elsewhere without muss or fuss. That’s a fact. The tatted person has rights too, for self expression and to work in their chosen field without discrimination towards their appearance. And that is also is a fact.
I have worked as an RN in a nursing home now for almost 3 years and all of my residents love my tattoo sleeve. That's usually the first thing a new resident says to me and it starts a conversation which makes them less nervous and helps the 2 of us to get to know each other. I've never had a resident or family member ever say anything negative about it.

That is amazing to hear!
My tattoos do not prevent me from doing chest compressions, starting IVs, troubleshooting time management quality of care effective decision-making, or anything else to do with my level of competency in my chosen job field. And if they’re affecting your perception, it says more about YOU than it does about ME 🗣️
Rejoice. The counter culture is winning. The entire culture is just about cooked. Anything goes baby. (Sarcasm.)
Exactly! Anything goes!
No, it should not be an issue. Many clients have tattoos and working with the public that have tattoos and piercings made me realize that those things do not define who we are or what we are capable of doing. As long as the wearer is clean and professional that should be the focus.
I am only speaking for myself (and I realize that it is the unpopular viewpoint), but I find tattoos incredibly tacky.
Chief
To each their own!
If the tattoos are tasteful and not offensive then why not . After all it should be about work ethic . My dad has tattoos from when he was in the Air Force and he is one of the hardest working men I know .
Yes, despite the fact that more & more people have them, tattoos should NOT be visible in a PROFESSIONAL setting.
Chief
And what about semi permanent tattoos? Like henna which is cultural?
I’m all for the art of tattooing.
irrelevant
It depends on the location and type of body art displayed . For example, your surgeon comes to speak with you just before open heart surgery and has a face tattoo complete with red horns and a tail and says, “Just relax, I got this!” and winks at you. How many of us would have been put at ease? Example two, a nurse is giving you your 14th Covid shot and you are so over it. As she leans towards you to move your deltoid muscle just so, your eyes focus on a tiny devil tattoo on her neck of all places. Do you slap the needle out of her hand and yell be gone Satan or suck it up buttercup like a grown up?
Chief
Absolutely agree. Although our current elderly clientele are still not too keen on tattoos and those that works on wards with organic mental health issues e.g. dementia tend to react differently to tattoos
32% of the American population have at least 1 tattoo and that number is from 2019. To those on this chat that think that they don’t belong in healthcare- how many piercings do you have? And if you’re female, do you work with patients and have your nails painted? These are also things that you couldn’t have in patient care settings not that long ago, things are changing. The uptick in healthcare workers with tattoos is not due to the nursing shortage, it’s due to the overall increase of people with tattoos.
I believe if it’s wording in the tattoo then yes such as gang related things. But it’s not a good fit if you’re a front desk clerk or in business.
But tattoos shouldn’t permit you from getting a job! Everyone needs to work and what a person does on their personal time is their right.
Ok I see it as art. I am the canvas nothing more. Ya don’t like it don’t look at it. But having tattoos does not hinder work preference and honestly someone who has tattoos shows they can go through traumatic or painful experiences AND BE CALM ABOUT IT
I have become an expert in trauma by working with victims of gendered violence for the past 10 years. Getting a tattoo hurts, but it is not traumatic. Sexusl abuse is traumatic. Sex Trafficking is traumatic. Domestic violence is traumatic. Child abuse is very traumatic. Going to war and seeing the death and experiencing the carnage that comes with war. Homelessness is also traumatic because you experience shootings, stabbings, addiction sexual assault and bring in constant danger. These are examples of trauma. GETTING A TATTOO IS NOT TRAUMATIC. I had a great time getting both of my tattoos. It also doesn't show anything positive or negative about their character. It just is art to depict what is important to the person. It does not show that they can rise above anything or handle trauma. That is an offensive opinion to those of us that struggle with the aftermath of real trauma!!!!
If people, either co workers or pts are offended by tatts…. Tats that aren’t offensive in any way.. Well.. they probably should grow a spine and not be so soft lol
As a former healthcare administrator in a predominantly senior , Medicare pre baby boomer environment my rule was.
Facial tattoos were a no-no. Anywhere else is the employees business. If they had sleeves, then non-offensive or judgmental. If so, to please cover them. Perception = Attitude and Attitude = Reality. I never wanted my team to get into a perception discussion with patients.
I have seen some exquisite art work that impressed me…..
Body Piercing….. similar protocol…. Small classy nasel, earrings are fine. No prominent barbells , hoops, loops on the face. And please please please….. if you have a tongue thingy….. please keep your tongue in your mouth when speaking with patients…… and I never had any staff issues…….
Chief
I think in a few years time when the senior population changes, attitudes will change with it
I didnt like tatoos until I saw one by Kat Von Dee in person. it was an amazing portrait in shades of grey. like charcoal. if its a good one show it. if its crap put makeup on it. sorry.
