Tattooed nurses

Would you be put off by a tattooed nurse? At the moment I’ve only got them in places a patient would never see but I do plan to add some to my upper arm in the near future.

Just want to hear your thoughts and reasons!

I’ve changed my mind, I’m not going to get the subtle botanical tattoo after all.

I’m getting Hermione stroking a Siamese.

Very interesting to note that tattooed folk don’t give a shiny shit whether other people are tattooed or not, but some non-tattooed folk are very upset about what other people do with their bodies.

I’m not quite seeing this link between tattoos and education. One of my lecturers for my first degree (English Lit) had more letters after her name than she did in the name itself and she was covered! She had pink hair, too.

I have no tattoos but I don’t give a shiny shit whether you do or not.

Btw I think Crookshanks was more of a Maine coon than a Siamese.

CaptainCabinets · 24/05/2018 15:21

Crookshanks was actually a ginger Persian! Grin

Do you speak the English?

I speak fluent Typo.

I hear you're bilingual in English and Twat though.

DarlingNikita · 24/05/2018 15:22

If all else fails sneer at people's typing, eh hoist.

ParisUSM · 24/05/2018 15:23

Laughing thinking of all these people quietly judging me and my intelligence when they see my tattoo - certainly not something that's anyone's said out loud but it'd be fascinating to hear.

shinycat · 24/05/2018 15:24

Definitely not. I am not a fan of tats if I am being honest, but so many people have them now (especially under 40,) that it's no big deal anymore.......

PratRocket · 24/05/2018 15:24

Well, I haven't got any tattoos so she might be disproving her theories anyway.

CaptainCabinets · 24/05/2018 15:24

Are you always so spiteful, hoist?

What’s your subject? Cuntology?

"I wonder if that would have been different if your first degree had been in a more rigorous subject."

OOOH! Get you!

A friend of mine just got his PhD in astrophysics. He's covered in tattoos and piercings (including one of those ear tunnel things) and currently sporting a pink mohawk.

AtiaoftheJulii · 24/05/2018 15:26

as an employer, I judge your stupid tattoos and am less likely to employ you.

As an employee, whether I was covered in tattoos or had none, I'd be glad not to work for such a cunt.

PratRocket · 24/05/2018 15:26

Cuntology?

STEM degrees are so important.

ParisUSM · 24/05/2018 15:30

you mentioned accents before, I take it there aren't a high percentage of working class people in your employ either? You sound very shallow.

DarlingNikita · 24/05/2018 15:31

"I wonder if that would have been different if your first degree had been in a more rigorous subject."

Ooh, I hadn't even noticed that one. That is gloriously bitchy.

ICantCopeAnymore · 24/05/2018 15:31

Hoist - with your qualifications, surely you're intelligent enough to realise that the poster mys-typed the coding for a strikethrough?

Also, Crookshanks was actually part-Kneazle, though was played by multiple Persians in the film adaptations of the books Smile

shinycat · 24/05/2018 15:32

CUNTology? Grin

shinycat · 24/05/2018 15:36

Come off it haters. As I said, I am not a massive fan of tats, and wouldn't have them, -- the main thing that puts me off is that they are permanent (if that makes sense!) But don't call people THICK who have them. Some of the brightest, most intelligent people I know have tats. Doctors, lawyers, nurses and so on.

I mean it's only the younger ones, but still..... it's because it's a popular trend now to have them. I fear people may regret them, but to say people who have them are thick is ridiculous.

Did you mean to write "Linguistics and Computing", by any chance?

Sounds like you should have taken a degree you could actually spell.

Alicatz66 · 24/05/2018 15:55

Wouldn't bother me one jot !! Be nice to look at flowers and bees to take your mind off treatment ! Smile

DarlingNikita · 24/05/2018 15:57

And he's torpedoed his chances of employment already? Pity.

I predict that there aren't many working class employees as they tend to do less well at university.

I've always wondered if I was right to dislike public schools on principle.
I wonder no more.

Ollivander84 · 24/05/2018 15:57

The stupid thing is people who dislike tattoos would nod at me approvingly. They don't realise beneath my clothes I'm heavily tattooed
My small wrist tattoo and both ankle ones have never stopped me getting a job, I work for a luxury car brand and my ankle ones show at work. My wrist one is visible when I work as a carer and not one person has ever commented
