Easiest way to cover tattoos is to not get them in the first place.
Then its pretty simple.
Wow. That was certainly helpful.

Put a tat on your neck, they won't notice the one on your arm then! , , another problem solved!

But then you've gotta have one on your face to detract from the one on the neck...
Here's to Hoping you still think so in 30 years.
Helpful as it may or may not have been. Like it or not, it is the truth. Its easy to see 20/20 in hindsight isn't it? But thinking about the repercussions your choice of body art may or may not have on your career choices later in life isn't always as easy to see "in the moment". Maybe it meant something special to you at the time, but is that "special meaning" more important to you than getting a job, having a career, having to lie or cover up your special marks because you chose poorly on the location of said marks?
To me no. I'm not apposed to body art. I have even considered getting a tattoo or two. But if/when I do they will be where normal street clothes/dress clothes will cover them completely.
Again common sense when choosing the design and location of body art will make things like Miss Dragon's problem easier to solve in the future. Maybe not for her but maybe just maybe someone else may read these posts and rethink getting a "Jason" mask on their forearm. (yes my friend really does have a Jason mask in about the same spot as Snapdragon's tattoo, along with other horror themed tattoos down his arms, and wonders why he can't find a decent job)

Chalk it up to midlife crisis.
How's the weather way up there on that high horse?

Very well said +1 and rep coming your way. When sitting on a high horse it hurts when falling off to the ground.
I appreciate any and all responses. In reality, I'm probably going to go with a combination of all options. I can tolerate long sleeves for an interview and long-term if the office is plenty cool. If the office is not cool and I have to wear long sleeves, I will be a sweaty, nauseous, cranky biotch. Enter options two, three, and four-- makeup, sweatbands (or nude-color bands), and bandaids. I may order some of the products I mentioned in my first post just to try them.
In the meantime, wish me good juju on finding a job. I'm not working now, so I can't afford to turn down a job offer on principle (at least if the principle is tattoo pride).
