How did you get the job if that is their policy? Were you wearing a long sleeve shirt at the interview?

I've thought about this deeply. You only have two options. Either cut off that portion of your arm...or get a cheese grater.

Most chain stores that have an anti tattoo or piercing policy are fine if you have them, you just need to have them covered up in some way when you are working with the most common way being a band-aid of some sort.

Find the nearest Pitbull and have it shred that portion of your arm.

Call whoever hired you, and say, "what's the best way to cover up this tattoo on my arm?" They'll probably say, "wear long sleeves, and it won't be a problem."

Then you ought to come right out and explain your situation as soon as possible. There's no point in agonizing over this.

McDonald's is a franchise, which means rules of employment can change depending on who the owner of that specific store is. It just so happens to suck that the owner of your particular store thinks tattoos look unprofessional (because that matters at a McDonald's lol).

I'd invest in long-sleeve shirts or a really thick concealer.

Otherwise, maybe Burger King is hiring.

Edit: Situations like this are why I never understood why people get tattoos in really visible areas. Is losing a prospective job offer really worth having some ink on your arm?

Sweat band, long sleeves, make-up (not kidding), or just cover it up with something else.

If Kat Von D can cover her tattoos with makeup, you can too.

Have you ever seen SAW II where the guy has the last number for the code to the safe written on the back of his neck? Well, he had a knife in his hand. Imagine where this is going. Don't do that. Can you wear a long sleeve shirt? If not, they're personally idiots for hiring you. How do they not ask you about something that goes against a policy such as this?
