Hello Ladies!
I'm new here, but also less than 6 months away from my wedding and desperate for some advice!
I recently got my wedding gown from David's Bridal, and I love it!
However, I have some pretty big tattoos on both of my upper arms (pretty much 1/2 sleeves) that are very colorful. I was hoping that I would be able to cover them up for my wedding day, but it's starting to feel nearly impossible.
I was wondering what your thoughts were on tattoo cover-up -- has anybody effectively done it using makeup? Does it work? I have received varying opinions from different makeup artists, but the overall consensus is that it CAN be done, but it also can rub off pretty easily. The last thing I want to do is leave giant makeup stains on anyone that hugs me or be stressing over it rubbing off all night.
My other thoughts were having sleeves added to the dress. The seamstress at David's Bridal said it can be done, but I worry it's going to look crappy or that I won't have enough time. My dress won't be in until early May, and the wedding is at the end of June. Has anyone had success adding 1/2 or 3/4 sleeves to a dress? I worry this may be miserable in June as well if it's super hot out.
Lastly, my resort would be a bolero or a jacket -- but again, it's going to be hot in June and I don't want to wind up looking even more ridiculous than I would just donning the tattoos.
If anybody has faced a similar plight and can add some thoughts or opinions, it's so greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
