Should my friend get this tattoo if she wants to be a doctor?

So I’m asking this for a friend. She wants to get a tattoo of a star on her wrist, she just doesn’t know how that would go over if she becomes a doctor. Do you guys/girls have any advice on what she should do?

Answer #1

well in a profession like that I don’t think that it would go over well but still she should do what she wants.I’m a firemen and have a tattoo on my inside forearm six inches above the wrist. Its not uncommon for people in my line of work to have because its concidered a “manly” thing to do. but it still puts people off from time to time becuase I am a trusted public servant who most people are willing to trust there life too. She would have to think of it as a member of the community first. Would you want a doctor with a tat. someone you also trust with your life. Maybe her ankle, upper back, lower back, bicep, ect. would be a better choice. Or keep it covered with a long sleeve shirt or lab coat. thats what some captains make me do. Its what you make it.

Answer #2

the other thing she might want to think about is tattoos hurt…the wrist is a very sesitive area…and it will bleed…a lot. the color might come out weird. Just be sure you dont take her drinking first cause then it blleds more.

Answer #3

why a star, does it have any meaning? She should think im getting a tattoo in case she regrets it!!

Answer #4

Certain people might not respect her opinion as much if they see a tattoo. It is a bit old fashioned to think that way - but the truth is that people still do. As a doctor she is also likely to treat older people - and they often don’t agree with tattoos. I would tell her to consider getting it in a different location that could be hidden more easily - or make it small enough that a regular bandage could cover it. That way she could get it but remain professional to people who don’t agree with tattoos.

Answer #5

I think that it would look unprofessional.
