I too have tattoos but not in prominent places. You would only see mine if you went to the same gym as me and used the swimming pool. I can tell you peoples expressions change when they have seen you on the treadmill and then topless in the pool. Everyone knows that tattoos are a personal preference but most people will view visable tatts with disdain. I too would also advise you to cover them up to get past any interviews you may have. As the saying goes "you can't judge a book by its cover" but in reality we all do, even me.
