Tattoos and Wedding Dresses

Millie, on May 23, 2017 at 2:06 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 74

Hey ladies!

For those of us who have visible tattoos, do you plan on covering it up with makeup or a particular dress style? Or leaving the tattoo exposed?

If you have used tattoo makeup, which is the best brand?

Thank you in advance!

    Two of my seven tattoos will be visible and I don't intend to cover them. My tattoos are part of who I am.

    Not covering at all. I'm getting married in my own body, not someone else's.

    Can't speak to the makeup but my opinion is you got the tattoo for a reason. Unless it's obscene you should flaunt it, not hide it!

    Only tattoo I have is a 4 leaf clover on the back of my shoulder. Not covering it up!

    My dress covers mine, but that wasn't planned. If I'd bought a dress that showed the tattoo, I would not have covered it with makeup.

    My tattoo may be covered by my hair or my dress, but it wasn't intentional - I would show it proudly

    My dress covers mine, though that was not the intention. If I picked a dress that showed me tats, I'd show them off proudly.

    I'm not covering any of mine. I actually picked the dress I did because it shows off my tattoos.

    I have one on my back that I didn't want totally exposed so I found a dress that somewhat covers it.

    Hard to see mine but I half an almost completed sleeve and my deceased brother's fingerprint tattooed on my clavicle... I wouldn't even think about covering my tats. They are a reflection of me.

    I'm not covering up mine but I also feel I have way to many to cover. And I would hate for any kind of makeup to get on my dress.

    I have one on each wrist and one on my left shoulder and I will not cover a single one! Your tattoos are part of you! I will be wearing my hair down in my strapless dress, but I love my hair down so haha!
