I would never consider going to an interview with my arms covered. I also make a point of not removing my lip or nose rings or plugs for interviews.
No point going though the interview process, being offered a job, accepting, getting all psyched up for it then turn up on first day and they have an issue with something I'd hidden at interview.
Admittedly I'm currently (and recently) employed as a bike tech at a velodrome so not quite the same as interviews for legal/financial sector jobs but given that Iwork for the City Council I did think they might take umbrage at my appearance.
Pretty sure appearance has been responsible for my not getting a couple of jobs in the past but it's been shit like photography assistant and Costa coffee so wasn't too bothered.
