I am considering doing an internship in Mexico teaching and the job description says no body piercings or tattoos. I can easily take out my earrings but my tattoos are another thing.
I love my tattoos and don't regret them, but will need to cover them up if I do apply for this teaching posisiton (maximum of 6 months in Mexico). My tats on my legs are easy to cover with pants, but my wrist and ear are another matter.
Any ideas?

Use a conealer. First apply a dark concealer and then lightly dab over it with your natural color concealer. I saw this once on What Not to Wear. Hope this helps.

If it is just for a day then I would just use a band aide. (if it is small enough) I was a bridesmaid in a wedding once and covered the tattoo on my ankle with a large band aide. The only person that said something was my grandmother...asking me what happened. This also worked for me when I was in a play in college. I also heard that there is such thing as makeup, specifically used for covering tattoos.

This sounds silly but Davids Bridal sales a tattoo cover up kit ( I just got married .. lol ) ... so do a lot of the websites on-line ... it doesn't cost too much and they seem to work a lot better ... you could always put the kit on and wear a bracelet ... good luck ... !

Get stage make up, concealer, and a non tinted powder. Stage make up is make up that is used for stage shows . It's a little thicker and covers better then regular make up. Drag queens use it to help cover up their five o clock shadow. The concealer helps cover what the stage make can't and the non tinted powder is to set the make up. The only thing about stage makeup is it dries out your skin so make sure you moisturize before you put it on.

I have seen people cover them with the small bandaids like the small circle ones or rectangular shaped. Also make up. You can buy some heavy foundation from MAC that will last all day through sweat and water. They have some good covering make up there. i use it personally. I hope this helps you.

How big are the tattoos? Would a large bracelet or watch cover the one on your wrist? What about makeup that scar or burn patients use? Would that cover?

This will be difficult even with the camouflage makeup on the market. Dermablend seems to be the best seller. It takes a lot of practice to use it effectively and must be powdered in.
Many I know use both Covermark and Dermablend together.

Dermablend works VERY well. They have a variety of skin tones. Just follow the directions (it's pretty fast) and you'll be all set to go. It's sweat-proof, so if you're in a place like Mexico, you should be alright.

Liquid latex. Trust me on this one... I have 6 that I have to cover for work every day. Use a flesh tone, let it dry,and smiply cover with powder. if the edges are visible, dab foundation over the latex (after powder) and then powder again. Works like a charm, and comes off easily.

i agree with the others who have said dermablend. but i think another option for your wrist tattoo would just be a big bracelet,or watch (depending on how big your tat there is) but yea that would be a simple fix
:D
