I’ll chime in.. I’m mid 30s, no issues with tattoos, I chose not to get any. Never had the desire.
I went to the ER a month ago, and the on call Dr had sleeves down onto the forearm, or it could have been a forearm tattoo? In any case, they were covered, but when he reached toward me his shirt pulled back enough that I saw them.
I was NOT cool with this. I definitely started to judge this guy solely off the tattoos. After talking with him during his multiple trips to my room, I gained more trust. I don’t think that’s the vibe a dr should be giving off.
Your post reminds me of this pic that went viral a few years back;
Judging someone based on tattoos is kinda ridiculous, in my opinion...
I know plenty of doctors who’ve gotten sued for malpractice who are clean cut with no tattoos or “stigmas” attached to them...
I also know plenty of doctors, nurses, lawyers, fire fighters, business owners, investors/entrepreneurs etc who are covered in tattoos who are extremely successful.
As a matter of fact, the most successful people I know in life and finances never finished school (some dropped out and others came from 3rd world countries) and have tattoos or have something to do with what society would deem as “taboo”... And I’m talking about 7-8 figure A MONTH people... Not some 100k a year guy who lucked out on a good job..
And virtually every single person I know who’s clean cut, no tattoos (because what kind of job/future can you have with tattoos, right?
) and went to university to get their Masters etc are ALL struggling with finances and finding a career/job to pay off their student loan debt and complaining about their life lol...
I’m not saying you’re in any of these categories, just sharing my personal experience with this stuff...
