Q. Like if a woman was clean cut and put together and the only tattoo she had was on her knuckles (nothing raunchy), could that stop her from getting a job?
A. It really depends on a number of factors.
If you want to work in a conservative environment, then yes visible tattoos can cause an interviewer to have a more negative view against you.
If you want to work in a more relaxed environment then it would have less of an impact. Especially since many people have tattoos and piercings.
I have a small turtle on my left ring finger, and two more tattoos on my inner wrists which can be covered by a long sleeve shirt, as well as hair that is ever changing colors. I plan to work in higher education and if I wanted to work at an Ivy league institute...it would probably be harder to get hired than at a state run school. I am currently a master's student. My "look" is a bit more wild than most of my colleagues, but it also works in my favor because it is a conversation starter and makes me more difficult to forget when networking, which is why I'm loath to go back to a natural hair color.
I don't know what your tattoo looks like, but I know I can cover my turtle with a larger ring if necessary. Perhaps if it is one finger you could use a band-aid or ring or even stage makeup to cover it for an interview. This way it does not distract from your skills.
The best accessory to any interview is a smile. And if a company really wants you, they'll take you tattoo and all.
