No it is not going to be a problem.
Islaam is against tattoos, let that be clear. And getting a tattoo is haraam.
But the harm has been done already. You got your tattoo in a state where you didn't know any better...I assume, you repent it and you ask forgiveness by Allah for it.
Allah will forgive you if you are genuine for that.
Now I do not know if you have the possibility to have it removed...which would be much better of course...and I do not know what the rulings are with ghusl and tattoos...so you should check that.
Good luck.
