As I understand it, being a paralegal means you may mostly work in an office, but you do see clients from time to time. If you're able to cover up whatever you get with typical office dress, I can't see any reason you can't continue.
Considering how you'll probably have to cater to the lowest common denominator on this I wouldn't recommend a wrist or back of neck tattoo, and if you wear short sleeves (or sleeveless) that can limit you as well. If you're worried about appearing conservative I can't imagine wearing a skirt that goes above the knees, so thigh tattoos should be fine. A lower leg tattoo should be fine if you wear long skirts/dresses or pants all the time.
Personally, I'm all for pushing the bounds of what's "acceptable". I think that kind of thing is what allows for a generally greater acceptance over time, even if it doesn't help you directly and the effect is slow, over years if not generations.
However, without knowing specifics of your workplace, this really is your call. We can't give more than simple commentary, and even that could be wildly off-base if we're missing some critical piece of office tradition.

Tattos aren't cherished via every body and within the respectable international they are able to be a detriment to luck. Check with a health care professional to peer approximately having them eliminated. It is pricey, painful and can take many periods of laser therapies. Some colours can't be eliminated. In the interim, desire for extraordinarily bloodless climate so you'll put on lengthy sleeves.

I'm a paralegal and have full sleeves plus my chest done. I have no intent on stopping.

Not if you don't want to. As long as you're comfortable with them and they can be covered up if they need to be then keep going if you feel the need.
