How can i cover my tattoo while working in a hospital?

I’ve just started a degree that requires me to undertake clinical placements in UK hospitals. My problem is that i have a large tattoo on my forearm, I’m not bothered about the ethical argument of if i should be allowed to show it as i want to keep it hidden during my work. My problem is that since I’ve started I’ve become aware of the NHS policy for short sleeves due to MRSA etc. I really don’t want to have it removed as I love it and to be honest I can’t afford it, before i approach anyone at the university or hospital has anyone else had a similar experience or got any advice? Will i be allowed to wear a shirt as i intended or is their a way i can hide it during placements?

In the hospital where I work in the East of Anglia we are not allowed to cover our arms between the wrist and elbow with clothing plasters etc due to infection (I rang and spoke to infection control). Part of our infection control policy states that as long as the tattoo is not offensive etc it can be uncovered.

I have two tattoos, one on the inside of my left wrist and one on the outside of my right wrist. there are ALWAYS going to be people who want to have their say though !

Please email and let me know how u get on.
