What's under your clothes is no one's business, whether it's a boob job, a pubic trim, or tattoos. And once you have a bid, I doubt you'll be the only sister with tattoos. I doubt the chapter will feel lied to or cheated. Any chapter that feels THAT strongly about tattoos better give all rushees a full-body exam before handing out bids!
Now if they were on your forehead and you covered them up with makeup... that might be different. But I think part of the choice of getting tattoos somewhere that they can be hidden is exactly that; you can choose who to show them to and when.
So you have two choices, and I bet GCers are going to urge them both on you:
1) Cover them, so the chapters don't have an excuse to cut you; the sisters won't mind later. But don't lie if they ask (although I can't imagine a question like that).
2) Do you want a sisterhood that would cut you for that anyway? Go ahead, let them show, but don't make a big deal of them.
I would honestly say that it depends which you feel more comfortable with - and less luckily for you, what the school is like. At some schools it seems like if you don't have an 18-inch real pearl necklace and a Lily you don't have a chance of getting a bid, so forget anyone with a tattoo! Other places you could get a bid if you showed up naked.
By the way, the bat tattoo sounds cute.
