Should I hide my tattoos for summer internship?

To paint a better picture, I'm a 22 year old Canadian girl going into a summer internship at a BB in London next month. I have some visible small line-art style tattoos - three on left forearm, one on right forearm, and one on each ankle. All except one have a fairly significant meaning to me, not just randoms for aesthetic (except one ankle tat). Pretty much everyone my age in Canada has tattoos - I'd say it's less common to have no tattoos at this point among people I know, but maybe that's just my friends. I'm worried that they won't be regarded well by seniors at the bank and that it may hurt my chances for good first impressions/optics over the summer. Should I try to hide my tattoos for the most part? This would mean pretty much always wearing pants and long sleeves which might be kinda hard over the summer. Not sure how accepted they are nowadays in corporate London.
