I want to visit my family in El Salvador but I have a lot of Tattoos. I've been confronted in Guatemala by gang members but I hear Salvador is worse and I just want to be safe.
I have a full sleeve on my right are (Mayan design and a quetzal) and Pink floyd on my left arm (Half sleevs)

Will this be a problem?

If your not latino you should have no problem, but much will depend on where you are traveling to. If going to intercity places keep your eyes open and be aware of your surroundings. If going to the ruta de flores or places like Suchitoto you should have no problems.
If you are latino be carefull on the local buses an d if your tats could be confused with gang tats, you may want to cover em up.
Enjoy the trip

Depends on where you'll be hanging out...I wouldn't go wandering around Soyopango, Mejicanos or Apopa with those, but if you're staying in the "fancy" parts of San Sal or the touristy beaches (Tunco, Zonte) you'll be fine...Your family should have a really good idea as to how safe their area is or isn't...
