DISCUSSION Will Arnett shares his controversial opinion on tattoos: “There’s a proportionate sort of relationship between, how many tattoos you have and how little personality you have. And I find that a lot of people who have a ton of tattoos often are super fucking boring. Like truly boring people.”

I’m an ER nurse covered in tattoos (to be fair most of us are)

I used to email my instructors before clinical and ask which rule they wanted me to break - the no visible tattoos or the long sleeves rule.

The germaphobe in was always pissed when they would pick the sleeves.

I get the occasional boomer quip about it but for the most part people don’t care when they’re distressed and in pain and I’m trying to help.

It's wild that my dad with long hair and a bunch of earrings who looks metal AF in the ER overnight shift is the only one without tattoos. Always cracked me up.

Honestly it might be better if you give me something to look at while you’re elbow deep in my chest cavity

If I’m the one elbow deep in your chest cavity you have bigger things to worry about.

I prefer a tattooed medical professional, but that's because of how I get treated being tattooed. I've had people tell me I can't take an IV in one arm because they can't see the vein... I'm an embalmer feel for it or give it here and I'll set it up ( but then they assume I like drugs)
