I have about ten tattoos and my right arm is covered in them. Three of them are owls (as a symbol of wisdom). I have a tattoo on my hand (an anchor) and I have a big tattoo on my thy of a lady with an Orthodox church on her head as a hairdo adornment! *I'm a hairdresser* I was wondering if any of my tattoos would be seen as bad or or lead them to believe anything bad about me! Any thought on that?!

Thank you!

No problem, unless you're in Mexico and have gang-related tattoos, perhaps.

Photos, or they're not real. :)

In Russia (Moscow) tattoos mean nothing at the medical examination. I heard that if you have a lot of tattoos, they can take your blood for hepatitis test. But having tattoos by itself not making any problems for K-1 visa.
