That's a nice Tattoo, detox187. I have the Star of Life with the Cadeuces in the center....I get alot of compliments from it.....although there once was this one guy who asked me if my tat had something to do with the KKK.....I was like What the F****?!, then I said "No, it has nothing to do with the KKK, it's the star of life which you see on an ambulance with the Cadeuces...which is the medical symbol.....then he was like "Oh....cool..." LMAO!!!!!

Actually, the Caduceus (also known as the Staff of Mercury) was used as a printer's mark. It has nothing to do with the medical field. The symbol in the center of the Star Of Life is the Staff of Asclepius.

I was looking into medical id tattoos instead of my bracelet when I saw these. They'd be cool to have the medical condition removed and just as a symbol for ems instead... some pretty interesting ones out there.

I wonder what percent of MDs and RNs get tattoos relating to their profession...

one of the ER nurses i know has her upper arm tattooed with syringes, pills and pill bottles, a stethoscope and a nurse hat. sounds kind of weird but it's actually really beautiful.
 
I have 2 now, both on my lower back & plan on getting more. They both represent something that means a lot to me and a part of my life that I always want to remember. All of mine can/will be hidden with a t-shirt.

For those of you who don't like them, don't look at them, don't ask me about them, don't date me, whatever suits you. They are there for me, no one else. I don't think I will ever regret my ink, even when I'm 60+.

I dont understand why people want to tattoo themselves with a symbol that represents something you may or may not be doing next year.

For many people the tattoo isn't about what they will or will not be doing in the future, it is a celebration of what they have achieved. Regardless of whether it is something you did today, yesterday or ten years ago. That mark will always be your rememberance to what you have accomplished. Take mine for example, I got my dragon done when I moved out in High School. It was my symbolism for freedom and a better life. I got my second after my first major fire. I never got it completely finished, but now i have something to add to for my next memorable moment.

I completely agree.
 
agreed... and no one likes narrow minded people...
 
What is the average age of those that agree? 18 - 20?

Many still list themselves as students which means they still have a lot to learn.

It's kind of hard not to look at tattoos when they are in highly visible places or the wearer refuses to cover them.

Are you asking for actual or mental age??

Age is not an indication of maturity. Either is education status.
 
From what I've read on this site it seems that tattoos are okay with most employers as long as they can be covered and/or are not offensive?

So would a tattoo on the upper arm/shoulder area be acceptable? It would be completely covered when wearing a shirt.

Sorry for the repetitiveness of this question lol
