What this nurse and anyone with facial or visible tattoos need to understand is that in East Asia particularly China and Japan you will rarely see tattoos, the cultural view is that tattoos are linked to criminal behaviour. It is why Nanaia Mahuta got a chilly reception when she visited those 2 countries in particular. There will be elderly vulnerable people of Asian backgrounds (and others) in hospital who will not react well to this nurse.
I also accept her individual right to tattoo herself however she chooses, but she must also accept that it will unnerve some people and will definitely make travel to other countries more troublesome. There will be a downside of unintended consequences for the choice of virtue signalling.
Tattoos are no longer associated with gangs, they have been commodified & made safe & thus lost all significance. Once the mark of the outsider, they are now the mark of the munter, a visible signal of compliance with the herd. Nothing more comedic-tragic than the hordes of Kevin & Sandra NPCs displaying their conformity with meaningless scribbles dotted across their exposed skin, poor ol' munter Kev shivering through winter in a pair of shorts in order to signal the compliance ink on his skinny calves!

In NZ tattoos were associated and still are with gangs

Hi Matua,
The photo on your Substack has a full face tattoo. Is that you?
