would you even consider letting a doctor with 5 tattoos and 4 peircings be your doctor?


Question:


Answers:
Sure! The guy studied and practiced and passed the exams. Anyhow, any doctor could have all that and just have them discretely placed. Just because he likes a little fray in his world, who am I to judge and mistrust. Just give me muh meds and have a good day.

Other Answers:
Absolutely, as long as they were empathetic and seemed to know what they were doing. I think it shows a human side.

yeah tattoos and piercings doesn't mean he doesn't know what he is doing If he's hot! Seriously, check the credentials of any doc you aren't sure of. Your local state online website should have a listing of credentialed docs.


Yes, why not? Doesn't make them a bad doctor. In fact i would like a doctor like that, probably more down to earth.


Why not? Sounds like that doctor would be fun to party with too.

Why not? The doctor's fondness for decorating his body says nothing about his abilities as a medical capacity. Yes, why not. In my opinion everyone was young once. Childhood immaturities make us who we are in later years. Tattoos and peircings are nothing compared to medical training.


As you know, there is a new generation of people entering the professional world. These are people who have grown up in a society where tattoos and piercings were acceptable and showed individuality. Just because they have perhaps become a doctor or a lawyer or a dentist does not mean that they have to sell out, remove their piercings, and erase the tattoos.

You should ask yourself how comfortable you are with this person treating you medically and base your decision on that and not on outward appearances.

After all.when we are 85, there will be a lot of saggy tattoos around, and that's okay because everybody will have them!


its probably a 10-30 year old crowd on here, so youre going to get a larger proportion of people who say yes than the general population because younger people are more accepting of this kind of stuff. older people (the ones who see the doc the most) would say HELL NO at very high rate. personally im a no too, its really unprofessional to have a bunch of visible tattoos and piercings even if he is good or not. I do not believe you'll find many of those around. My husband who's in the medical field was told by his superiors at a meeting to please be sure to take out any piercings and cover up or remove any visible tattoos. In a professional field one must be ready to have the look of a professional, they said. I rather agree with that.

In my teaching profession, I've seen many parents steer clear of the teachers who do not have the "look" they're searching for. The military also subscribes to that belief. New recruits, when chosen, cannot have more than a certain number of tattoos. Although many insist on the fact that it doesn't counteract with their knowledge, it is certainly still taboo to have tattoos or piercings in professional fields.

While I am sure the doctor would be as knowledgeable as other doctors, his commitment to the field or professional level may not be there, so in fact, no I would not visit a doctor with as many tattoos or piercings.


Tattoo and body peircings do not mean the person is not smart or very good at what they do.
It does mean that they felt is was ok for them to adorne their body in a way they are comfotable with.
I think it is fine and would use a doctor who had them. Tells me that the person is comfortable ith their body and lifestyle.
