Regarding the religion issue, my thoughts on the topic are a bit complex to organize into a simple comment like this (so I conclude after thinking about how to do so for a good 15 minutes), but short version goes something like this:
Yes it’s true that the average “strongly religious” person will probably take a dim view of public nudity, but that doesn’t necessarily come from religion itself. Social norms have a way of attaching themselves to religion so that the two can be hard to tell apart. There are none the less religious people who do not subscribe to the same baggage that would commonly be associated with it. Christian nudists definitely exist, I even ran across a forum for them one time.
That is a hyper-judgemental statement in itself. You would likely be quite surprised at the percentage of strongly religious people who would be on board in the NWO world. (and in fact “early-adopters”)
Strongly religious? Why do so many people think religion and nudity cannot coexist? The Sistine Chapel is covered in nudes. When God created Adam, He made Adam in His own image. Adam was naked. So was Eve. Only when they ate the forbidden fruit did they know they were naked, and they were ashamed. God expelled them from Eden for disobeying Him, upon seeing them wearing the fig leaves.

If you’re talking about the Abrahamic religions, you have answered the question in your post. Nudity is the first ‘sin’ mentioned that we can commit (unlike eating the fruit which we cannot) and is what exposed the transgression to God, so it must be very bad indeed.
I believe that is the mindset of many of the more fundamentalist followers of those religions.

Religious folks are some of the most judgmental people on the planet.
Any strongly religious parents would kick her out for the nudity, not the tats.

That, however widely accepted, is actually based on misreading/misunderstanding. Nudity in itself is never actually listed as a sin.
Will she be pleasantly surprised or disappointed when her parents are completely supportive?
