Covering up tattoos

Yeah I wouldn't do it. My tattoos are a part of who I am and anyone who doesn't like it can either suck it up or leave. My tattoos will be visible at my wedding even though my FHs family is super religious and doesn't approve. It's my body, not theirs and I can decorate it the way that I want to.

Unless the tattoos are of massive dicks or they say "fuck bitches get money" it's highly inappropriate to ask your friends to cover their ink.

If you want to cover yours that is your personal choice.

Just know if you ask your girls to cover theirs expect to cover the cost of this from the makeup artist (if the dress doesn't already hide it). Two of my three girls have tattoos and I'd never ask them to cover them.

I have several tattoos, if you asked me to cover up any of them, I'd laugh and tell you where to go and how to get there. Then you could find another friend without tattoos to fill the space.

Just a little background. All of my tattoos have significant meaning and took considerable time collaborating with an artist whose work I loved to create. I then had to find a tattoo artist to put it on my skin. My tattoos cost a lot of money and time. I'm pretty sure the same can be said for your friends.

Suddenly I want/need a fuck bitches make money tattoo

You shouldn't ask them to cover them up. They are there personality. I'm sure you knew they had them before you asked

I had about 12 visable tattoos when I got married. Covering them was never an option. They are who I am

Would you ask them to color and cut their hair and make then wear colored contacts to change third eyes color too ?

@Jorocka, that tattoo would be amazing! Lol

I took care of a patient in labor a few years back that had a very memorable (and vulgar) tattoo. She had "Fear no bitches, trust no n***as" tattooed right below her belly button. I was involved in her care again last year while in labor and only recognized her when I saw the tattoo. Lol

I think it's rude to ask your friends to cover something that they obviously love enough to tattoo on their body. It's your wedding but their body is their decision.

I'm with the majority- I have tattoos (one on my wrist and inner arm that will be visible), one bridesmaid has a chest tattoo of her sons name and another has a sleeve lol I think it's superficial to want someone to cover their body art and very rude to ask them to. If you want to cover your own then absolutely, but thats your call.

This is incredibly rude. This is literally asking them to change as a person, and if you don't love them for the person they are, then why are they your BM in first place? Most of mine have tattoos, and trust me when I say all of our tatts will be proudly on display. Cover yours if you want, but I don't understand why you'd want to hide part of yourself.

That is rude. Highly recommend you don't do that. I don't care for tattoos in wedding pictures but I would never consider asking my bm to cover up their tattoos. They are not props to look pretty in your pictures. They are people and their tattoos, scars, etc make them who they are. Like pp said, your way of thinking is very superficial. If you couldn't accept them for who they are then you shouldn't have asked them to be a part of your wedding.

If you want them covered suggest the makeup artist to cover them! Although it's a part of their identity it your wedding and your paying for the pictures. Asking them to cover up shouldn't be a problem if they are your friends/family. I also have one arm tattoo and it will be covered.

My MOH has a visible tattoo and it's a very meaningful one if I asked her to cover it it would be so rude it's her body and it shows personality

@ladywatson, yes it's your wedding but that doesn't give you the right to be rude and tell people to pay an mua to cover up their tattoos that mean something to them and they paid good money for. I will repeat, they are NOT props. Respect them as individuals and don't use the excuse of "paying for pictures" as a reason to bully people in to looking a certain way. All of my bm are family, but that doesn't give me the right to ask something so rude.

Surely you considered this when you got the tattoos done?

If you don't want to see them in 10-15 years, why on earth did you pay for them?

My MOH has multiple visible tattoos and I'd never ask her to cover them. It's rude imo.

What if one of your BMs had a mole that you thought was a bit unsightly? Would you request that be covered?

I have a large birth mark on my back, it's white and spreads across my upper back. Would you want me to cover that? What about the single freckle on my nose?

Other people's skin is not your fucking business.
