Tattoos and medicine

Hi there! Just a question for current doctors or medical students who may have experience in this area. I’m about to start medical school in September and have plans to get a tattoo on my forearm (floral tattoo nothing to big or crazy). Do I need to cancel or delay this? I have the mindset i’m kind of in it already now (I have a small quote just below the crease of my elbow already so already have a visible tattoo) so does it matter? I obviously don’t want to jeopardise my future or make life any harder than I am anticipating the next four years to be😅. Also just to note I don‘t plan on heading into surgery but also who knows what the future holds until placement! Thanks :)
