Can Nurses & Medical Professionals Have Tattoos?
The short answer: It depends!
​
The American Nurses Association doesn’t have an official rule about tattoos, which means it’s up to each individual facility to set its own policies.
Here’s what you should know:
-
Facility Policies Vary: Hospitals, clinics, schools, and nursing homes may each have different rules based on their environment and the population they serve.
-
No Official Ban, But... Some workplaces might not have a written tattoo policy, but visible tattoos—especially large or bold ones—can still carry Social Stigma in professional healthcare settings.
-
Facial Tattoos Are Rarely Accepted: Even in more relaxed environments, facial tattoos are almost always prohibited.
If you’re a nurse or medical professional with tattoos (or considering one), it’s always best to check your facility’s dress code and get clarity from HR or management.
Some Common Body Art Policies for Nurses:
-
Must cover up any tattoo completely with long sleeves or bandages
-
No tattoos above the collar or below the elbow allowed
-
No visible tattoos when wearing scrubs
-
Large or offensive imagery must be concealed
Ultimately, tattoos can be hidden with makeup or covered with clothing but for some, removing visible tattoos is the only option to move forward in their career. If you think that you need to remove a tattoo to become a nurse, Dragonfly is here to help.
Navigating Health Care Tattoo Policies
Understanding What’s Acceptable—and When Removal May Help
​
Most healthcare facilities have policies around visible tattoos in the workplace. These guidelines can range from requiring tattoos to be always covered to stricter no-visible-ink rules, especially in patient-facing roles.
Here’s what to keep in mind:
-
Know the Policy: Tattoo regulations vary from one facility to another. Always review the dress code or appearance standards at your ideal workplace before applying.
-
Grey Areas: Tattoos on the ankle, calf, or forearm may fall into a gray zone. Scrubs or long sleeves can often cover them—but this might be uncomfortable in warmer months.
-
Visible Ink Considerations: If your tattoo is on your hands, neck, or face, you may encounter more resistance or limitations in employment opportunities.
-
The Shift Toward Acceptance: The good news? Some progressive hospitals and healthcare systems are relaxing their tattoo policies, recognizing that professionalism goes beyond appearance.
If you're pursuing a career in nursing or healthcare, the safest bet is to place tattoos in areas easily covered by scrubs. But if you already have highly visible tattoos that might limit your career options, laser tattoo removal could help expand your opportunities.
​
If you're planning to start a career in nursing or another healthcare role, it’s usually safest to keep tattoos in areas that can be easily covered. But if you already have tattoos in highly visible spots, laser tattoo removal may be a smart step to keep your career options open.
