Will I get hired with a tattoo?

I want to get a tattoo. It will be on my wrist and say "Blessed" with a Jesus fish. I plan to major in nursing or education. Would I not get hired just because of my tattoo?

    The issue is less to do with having a tattoo - you can certainly be a nurse with visible tattoos, but is more to do with the fact it's a visible religious symbol. I have visible tattoos and in the various places I've been employed the handbook has always stated that offensive or religious tattoos are not allowed, this will be even more likely if you have a job in education or health care as you are in a position of influence over vulnerable people.
