They're talking about appearance, not competence I think.

People's presentation isn't the be all and end all of course but it's something that's noticed.

IMO there's a co-relation between appearance and competence.

Stating the obvious there really seeing as someone is going to be biased in judging their own abilities anyway!

Not quite, If someone arrives to work dishevelled and unkempt it gives you an insight to that persons ability to manage their life and consequently their work.

Likewise with tattos, it gives you an incite into the type of person you're interacting with. For example, this person needs or craves attention that they need to draw on their body with permanent marker, this person has some underlying issue that they need to brand their body in an attempt to express themselves or remind themselves of something.

Again though, it depends very much on the tattoos themselves, whether they’re a cheap ink job or there has been actual effort and time went into their creation, and they might still look like crap to most people, because that’s what body art is (I’m looking at you Cheryl Tweedy with your back tattoo :pac:). I’d link to the ink but unsurprisingly there’s no decent pictures of it.

What difference does the ink make, it's the act of getting an irreversible tattoo that I would be more concerned about?

there was a very good picture of it doing the rounds at the time.

I'd much rather a dodgy tramp stamp than the full sleeves and chest tattoos..

I get you, but for me the ink makes all the difference between something that looks like they were dragged up through a sewer grille, and something that I would consider was actually pleasant to behold

It still looks just as unfortunate in HD tbh :pac:

I would be more than happy to examine it closer just to be sure.

I haven't found that to be the case professionally, "clothes don't make the man" as they say.

You would not know if a doctor in A&E had just arrived at work or not. A doctor looking frazzled, unkempt and untidy might just be finishing a 48 hour stint, have seen god knows how many patients, had someone die on them and had to do an emergency procedure on a distressed child. 'Managing' your life does not really come into it in those circumstances.

Sleepy · 02-12-2019 05:39PM

Honestly, if it was anything below the belt I was being seen for, I'd be a bit awkward. She's hot AF!

Of course it does. Outside factors will invariably have an impact on your work.

It may not make the man but gives us an insight into the type of man.

Yet we can tell a lot about a man by his mere shoes. Well heeled tattoo freaks just got a pass

But like, in 10/15 years time her tattoos will have dated awfully too..

Maybe, why should anyone give a fûck though.. she is a fully trained and accredited medical professional, good human being.. who happens to be into body art... it should have zero bearing on her ability to do her job... if I’m say in a hospital and she approached me to help and offer expertise I’m focused on that interaction and her purpose for being there...she happens to be into tattoos, great, some people around here need to have a word with themselves.

As I said earlier, I don't have an issue with it. But an older person or a more conservative person might feel very uncomfortable with it. The confidence of the patient in their doctor takes precedence over the doctors right to express their individuality. I'm thinking of my relatives in their 60's and 70's and they would feel extremely uncomfortable being treated by this doctor. Her tattoos and piercings don't affect her clinical abilities but her professional attitude to patient care should be to put the feelings of her patients first.

I am in my 60’s and would absolutely be happy being treated by her . As long as she is articulate , kind , efficient and knowledgeable . I would much prefer that to a mumbling , rude , hard to understand doctor . I am guessing most of my peers would feel the same

That's you and I have said I wouldn't have an issue with it either but a lot of people wouldn't feel comfortable being treated by a pink haired doctor with facial piercings and tattoos. I suppose what it really boils down to is whether a doctor's freedom to express themselves through body piercings and tattoos is more important than the feelings of a patient. Another way of looking at it is to say the doctor in this case is a very pretty young woman, how about a male doctor with the same facial jewellery and tattoos.

Tattoos aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, sure, but there’s no reason to think of them as just an age thing. I have no doubt your relatives would have plenty of reservations about who does or doesn’t treat them, and I would too, but it’s silly to assume they would have an issue with something or someone when in reality they may well surprise not just you, but other people too who imagine the elderly were never young themselves!

How do you know that a lot of people wouldn’t feel comfortable ? You are presuming that people in their 60’s and 70’s would be uncomfortable without ever having asked most of them how they feel

I would object to any doctor who was rude or inefficient or dismissive . His tattoo or hair colour would be the least of my worries

twowheelsonly · 02-12-2019 07:14PM

My biggest fear would be that she'd have a FG tattoo purely because I'd then know that I was going to be well and truly fleeced !!!

RhubarbCrumble · 02-12-2019 07:22PM

Personally I'd be more concerned about what's written on a doctor's CV, rather than what's written on their arms.

I wish there were more judges with face tattoos.

Conall Cernach · 02-12-2019 07:42PM

Stuff like those big gauge things that stretch the ears or nose always make me doubt the judgment of those that have them. If my doctor walked in with those or some other body modification "art" like implanted horns or a split tongue I'd presume they were having some sort of episode.
