if so can a flesh colored tattoo cover up a black tattoo??
i live in michigan and i am trying to find a way to cover it up permanently beside getting laser surgery.
Answer
Hi there, I believe a flesh tattoo is called a scar tattoo. I don't think it could cover a black tattoo however.
I had a black tattoo done on my ankle, but I was able to cover it up with a bigger one of a colored butterfly, and now you can't even see the black anymore. I had a very skillful tattoo artist. It took about 3 hours for him to do, and it was painful, but totally worth it in the end, and my tattoo is still beautiful about 3 years after he did it.
I highly recommend going to see one that you trust. You can usually get a consultation with one, they charge for them, but most of them will put the cost of a consultation towards the cost of the tattoo. (mine did) My cover-up tattoo cost about $150, even my mom liked it, and she is VERY conservative.
Good luck!!

Seeking nursing career with a tattoo on wrist?
Mommy 2 B
I have a monarch butterfly tattoo on the inside of my wrist. I am currently going to college to become a RN and plan on getting my master's in nursing in the future. Will my tattoo hinder me in my career? I've heard some hospitals don't allow exposed tattoos, is this true? It's a very beautiful and harmless tattoo, I don't see how anyone could be offended by it. Also I am concerned with health concerns my employer may have about me having a tattoo.
Answer
As was said earlier, and has been said by most responders, tattoos are not, generally, accepted as part of a professional presentation. It is not a health issue, but some patients may perceive it as one. You must not only be concerned with the tattoo but on the effect it has on the patient and their attitude towards you as part of the staff.
As a nurse, you cannot always cover your wrist. Even with a bandage or a wide-banded wrist watch, they will have to come off for certain procedures. And continuously wearing a bandage on your wrist from one patient to another does present health issues, as does jewelry. You cannot change a bandage every time you touch a patient and move to the next like you can wash your hands. Gloves can be used, but prolonged wearing of gloves increases your risk of developing a latex sensitivity or allergy. A nurse who is sensitive to latex might as well retire, as there is a lot of latex out there, though much of the latex is being replaced.
If you already have the tattoo, you can try to cover and work with it, but it might affect your selection for some jobs based on the perception of interviewers.
