There is some good makeup out there that can coverup tattoos. Maybe that will do the trick.

What is your uniform like, could you wear a long sleeve top?

Maybe try wearing some makeup over your scars to conceal them a bit, and wear a cardigan on top. Then even if they ask you to remove your cardigan the makeup will cover the scars.

hi wearing long sleeve tops is a good way but tattoos are ok as well.its part of who you are so I don't think you should hide it.people need to accept the scars its not the scars doing the job.make up specially in warmer weather may run off it might do a job like now in the cold period.good luck with the job and be yourself.
