I have noticed that more and more women, not only the younger ones, but those in their mid-life (crisis?) are getting their arms tattooed. I am not speaking of a small heart "I love Teddy" on the upper arm, or discretely hidden on the shoulder blade or decollete, I am talking flaming thunder and rose thorns all up and around the upper and lower arms in red, yellow and blue. I noticed it on the girl in the Dunkin' Donuts drive-through window, the lady hair dresser who cut my grandson's hair for his 1st day in school and the cashier at the Stop-and-Shop supermarket. I have yet to see a medical assistant taking my weight and blood pressure with similar tattoos, although I recall one had a "suspicious" band-aid on her forearm once. All in all we were taught in medical assistant school to cover them up and take the nose rings out. Mind you, even bright finger nail polish, or worse, fake fingernails were not encouraged. That's how is was back in the day and that wasn't too long ago.
Nurse Roxanne raised the following point:
"It's about how appearances influence the way other people treat us. Either it's a large scar or burn on your face, a hump on your back or a body full of tattoo's.
People judge by what they see and what they associate with that appearance. My point is that having a lot of tattoo's, or any other 'flaw' in your appearance doesn't make you a lesser person or a less harder worker."
