Only yourself and moderators can see your IP. Otherwise it's hidden from others.

It should show localhost (127.0.0.1)
From my understanding of TOR, they can't log your IP, unless they control the node you enter via and the hidden service.

It's really like that (127.0.0.1). Thanks!

We all show up as 127.0.0.1 here.  :)

As others pointed out, it will only show 127.0.0.1, which is localhost.

Fun fact: when IPv6 is implemented, localhost will be 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1, which makes more sense.
