Recommended Answer:
I think it would be best to ask. What happens if you get the job, and they see the tattoos and have a policy against them? They would have the right to fire you on the spot, tattoos aren't covered in anti-discrimination laws. Best to ask first.

• Just how visible are they? If you are dark skinned and the tattoos are dark also, then the interviewer may not make note of them at first glance. I don't think the tattoo policy is particularly strict at Wal-Mart--I've noticed several employees with tats/piercings that other companies would not allow. Don't try too hard to conceal them and if the interviewer mentions anything about it, tell them you are willing to wear some kind of glove to conceal them.


• Hey!
  
  Depending on the quantity you have on your fingers, i would recommend band aids.
  
  This might seem silly, but in hindsight, all this could be to somebody is a cut or graze. As i said, this would only work banking on the fact you have a small amount on your fingers.
  
  Hope i have helped!

• I have seen employees at the Wal-Mart in my town with neck and finger tattoos. I am sure you will be fine, but if you want to be sure you can go to the drugstore and get some cheap foundation/concealer that is similar to your skin tone.


• Just do your very best to make a lot of eye contact and do not look at your hands. Keep your hands away from your face when you are talking and hope they don't notice them.


• Use foundation/concealer that you'd normally wear on your face. :)
