Journal Article
Body adornment: Know the limits
2003
Overview
In recent years, body adornment, such as tattoos and nose, eyebrow, tongue, and lip piercing, has increased in popularity. But patients may perceive tattoo wearers as impulsive, reckless, erratic, unpredictable, dangerous, and violent. The past history of tattoos being administered under unsanitary conditions, leading to hepatitis C, further increases this stigma. Patients may have negative attitudes toward nurses with body adornment. To many, it demeans health care's professional image. Research shows that health care providers also hold similar negative views toward people with tattoos.
