Having tried to cover a tattoo for several job interviews, let me tell ya: I always resort to sleeves. It is so hard to find makeup that will cover a tattoo and that also comes in the same shade as your skin, and then once you do find such a thing, it’s expensive, it takes a lot of time and effort to apply, and no matter what they claim, it does rub off on clothes a bit.
If she does choose to cover it with makeup, I’d go for Dermablend and buy the whole system—concealer, body foundation, and setting powder. But be aware that it darkens as it dries, so getting a good match is really difficult.
It will probably be a easier (and cheaper) to slip a sheer bodysuit under the dress just make sure you match the color of the dress, or lace shawl around her shoulders; something with a fairly open weave like that shouldn’t be too hot.

I have a tattoo of a butterfly on my right shoulder. My in-laws are very conservative and they weren’t happy about showing it on my wedding day. I got married in the summer and it was very hot the day of the wedding . I couldn’t find a dress that I like with sleeves so I had a strapless dress. I wasn’t sure how to cover the tattoo I tried to cover it with makeup but it didn’t cover it completely but I had no choice at the time. I wish I knew about the sheer bodysuit, sound like a good option.
