This doctor has most of her body tattooed and every day she stands up against people's prejudices
Tattoos yes or tattoos no? This is the heated debate between those who love and those who can't stand tattoos. A dilemma that has been going on for generations and that opens the door to another important question: can tattoos be allowed in the workplace? To remove all doubts is the talented and tattooed doctor Sarah Gray, a very competent young doctor who, in addition to having a great passion for medicine, also has a great love for tattoos. What's the problem? Dr. Gray does her job very well, even though her body is covered almost entirely in colored ink. The fact of having tattooed skin, in fact, should not be an impediment to her career: you can be good at your job even if you are tattooed! Yet, Dr. Gray has often faced people's insults and prejudices, both outside and within the walls of the hospital where she works.
The 30-year-old young doctor, resident in Adelaide, Australia, has 90% of her body tattooed as she is a big fan of ink on the skin. Those who have been tattooed themselves at least once in their life know that the desire to continue doing it again and again and again can be irresistible. Sarah Gray, in fact, has never missed an opportunity to get a tattoo and has never accepted that that her passion for tattoos could represent a problem for others. On the other hand, why should her appearance interfere with her medical skills?
Still, the young woman said she was the victim of prejudice both in the workplace and outside her hospital. It's true that in the workplace you have to adapt to the rules dictated by your company, but having tattoos shouldn't be a problem. Sarah Gray said she was turned away from a restaurant because of her appearance as the place forbade people with visible tattoos from entering. A similar incident happened to her in a shoe shop, and even at work someone complained about her tattoos being visible on her.
Clearly, there are laws that protect Dr. Gray in the workplace from discrimination of this kind and she, professionally, has nothing to fear. Tastes are not up for discussion, but those who don't tolerate tattoos should ask themselves if they really constitute a concrete threat to them or if, instead, it's pure and simple discrimination.
Everyone will have own their opinion regarding the beauty or otherwise of tattoos, but that doesn't mean that the usual rumor that tattoos are synonymous with misconduct has any truth.
