Clothing is really the only option to cover tattoos unless the tattoo is in a critical area that we need to show off and in that case the model is useless to us.

I see stuff in movies all the time where they cover up tats, but these are very good make-up artists with unlimited budgets and they have the time, money and resources to match the make-up perfectly to the actor's skin.
I would imagine taking something off the shelf it would look a little off as far as matching the rest of their skin tone. Shooting in HD would only magnify that. Personally, I think I would be more put off by seeing a girl with a big discolored splotch of skin than a shitty tat.
