Interpreters are taught to look professional and most of them probably are advised not to get inked.

I agree on the professionalism, and would think it best to cover tats for a professional terp. My son, however, is inked from shoulder to wrist on his left arm, and once I got over the shock of it, I don't find it distracting at all when we are signing. The shock came from seeing my "baby boy" all inked up, LOL!
