Depends upon extent: I personally don't object to small discreet tatoos on the foot, ankle or upper arm, or any tatoos that can't be seen. However, am biased against excessive tatoos involving entire neck, arms & or legs. I find such tatoos unprofessional. We have a nurse anesthetist with visible tatoos from wrists up as far up her arms as one can see, i know this makes some patients, especially seniors, uncomfortable.

Content: In the military offensive tattoos must be covered or removed. What is tattooed on your body can make a major statement about you. Tattoos that are sexual or violent in nature could cause the patient to question the individual's values and even professionalism.
