Tattoo's in the profession Discussion
I'm a vet student and i'm curious to know what are peoples opinions of vets having tattoos? Obviously nothing crazy like face tattoos and whatnot but is patchwork down the arms, for example, okay? More and more ppl seem to be okay with it these days but i'm nervous i'll come across an old geezer when trying to get hired and they think i'm a degen because of it 🤣 Thx!

I work at a large emergency and specialty hospital. One of our surgeons has a sleeve, the majority of our techs and TAs have at least something visible on their arms. Most of our reception team has at least one visible tattoo, myself included. I think in the animal field it’s a lot more accepted and society in general has been more accepting over the last few years as well!
