I have a small star tattoo (one-inch diameter) on the back of my neck and it has always been concealed by my hair until recently. I had to get my head shaved due to medical reasons (surgery) and now it’s visible.. I have an off-campus interview with a T14 school this week and I can’t magically grow hair or wear a turtleneck in this weather (I live in SoCal). Will T14 schools be off-put by my tattoo? How about biglaw/PI/gov/clerkship jobs in the future? I assume I’ll grow my hair out by then but I’m worried in the chance I have to get it shaved again.. I can’t believe I have to worry about my tattoo when there are bigger things I need to focus on lol I always thought it would be concealed by my hair but this has taught me the real uncertainty of the future 
Any help would be immensely appreciated!
There is specialized makeup designed to cover up tattoos, and I would recommend it for an interview. It also sounds like your tattoo is small enough that this isn’t a crazy option.
The law is, by and large, a conservative profession. I know and you know that your tattoo doesn’t make you any less qualified to get a JD/practice as a lawyer, but unfortunately, you’ll be interviewing with people who probably have a slightly different take on things. I do think it’s less of an issue for a school interview, but for biglaw, etc., it absolutely will raise an eyebrow or two.
If you’re planning on getting any more ink, I’d just recommend keeping it in the t-shirt and shorts zone of your body.
Thank you so much for giving me hope!! I hadn’t considered the makeup option and I agree that’s the fastest and most reliable way to conceal my tattoo since my interview is in a couple of days. I am definitely not gonna get any more ink…this little star is giving me enough trouble already! 
I really appreciate your advice!!
