Some employers may base judgements on your character off what they can see. It's the same reason people wear suits to interviews. If you look presentable they will be more likely to take you seriously. But you can still get it on the upper arm or shoulder or somewhere that would be covered 90% of the time if you are worried about it.
As for what to get for a tattoo, I've thought of getting one, but have never found anything meaningful that I wanted to etch into my skin. I have a friend who got his Frat symbols on his upper arm and a picture of lake Superior (he's lived in Duluth for 4+ years and is a very outdoors person) on his shoulder blade. When he wears a t-shirt you can't really see it, but if he wears a tank top or takes off his shirt in the summer they are very visible.
Find something you will want to wear for the next 20 or so years. If you decide once you get old that you really don't like it anymore you can always get it removed, but if you get something that seems that seems cool at the moment and regret it a year from now it's a big waste of money and a bunch of pain for nothing.
