Why not?
I'm not sure that would make the slightest bit of difference, but it's up to you of course. You need to balance being dressed fairly smartly, of course, but with feeling comfortable. Don't wear something you'd never consider wearing, you'll feel out of place and it'll show.

Remember, you interviewing for an internship in a research group, not a bank. Don't dress like a beach bum, sure, but equally don't dress like some power lawyer.

I dunno, I just don't usually have it on display, and I have a feeling that if someone doesn't like tattoos is on the interview panel and they see it, then it might be a little flag against me or something.
I was just thinking nice pants and shirt, but it's getting very cold here now, so will need a jacket or a coat is all.

I would suggest showing the interview panel
Your skiddies will be a bigger issue than a small tatt.

Proud to say I've not had skiddies since I was completed Potty-training as an infant.
