INTRODUCTION: The history of body art, especially tattoos and piercings, is an extensive and culturally diverse topic, although present throughout a large part of human history, nowadays attitudes and perceptions about body art vary significantly. Attitudes and perception are reflected in behavior in the form of discrimination or stereotypes, which can have a negative connotation on interpersonal relationships, especially within the business sector, that is, among nurses/technicians. Recent research suggests that people generally have a positive perception of care provided by nurses/technicians with visible tattoos/piercings, challenging traditional stereotypes and highlighting the importance of inclusivity. With the growing recognition of body art as a legitimate form of self-expression, stereotypes are gradually being reconsidered and a more acceptable social view is being encouraged. OBJECTIVE OF THE RESEARCH: The aim of this research was to examine and describe the attitudes of nurses/technicians towards about nurses/technicians who have visible tattoos and/or piercings. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: The research was conducted on a sample of 154 respondents employed in healthcare institutions residing in the Republic of Croatia. Data collection was carried out through an online questionnaire. The data is processed and presented descriptively, each particle is presented separately via standard deviation, mean value and arithmetic mean. The data were processed and presented using the MS Excell program. RESULTS: The results show that the majority of respondents (79.2%) believe that a piercing or tattoo does not affect the quality of work of the medical staff. A moderate negative correlation was observed in attitudes with regard to age, while gender, level of education and place of living did not show a significant influence on attitudes. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, the research results indicate that attitudes towards people with visible tattoos and piercings are mostly neutral to positive. This research can contribute to the understanding of the perception of professionalism in the health sector and encourage further research on this topic.
