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!

    My half sleeve and neck tattoo will be visible and the thought to cover them never crossed my mind. They are a part of me and I love them!

    As much as I get texted about not adding anymore color to my 'temple' from grandma, I will be happily showing off my tattoos. They are a part of me, and my story which includes my fh Smiley smile

    I'm purposely making sure my hair doesn't cover my tattoo on the left shoulder blade and I picked a dress that let the entire thing show. I don't think anyone should feel pressured to cover up a tattoo.

    I intentionally chose a dress that will show off my tattoos. They were all placed on my body for specific reasons & are a part of who I am.

    I won't be covering any of mine. They are a part of who and I got them in highly visible areas because I want them to be seen

    I chose a backless dress that I love, so mine will be showing. This is who I am and what I look like, so why not.

    My tattoos are a part of me and will be visible.

    (ETA: I only have one behind my ear right now that will be visible, but I'm going to be getting more before the wedding and those ones will be visible.)

    I haven't been dress shopping yet but I like the way an off the shoulder looks on me. I have an upper back tattoo and I like how that cut shows it but doesn't make it center like a strapless or a low back cut would. That's what I'm hoping to do.

    I love how my shoulder one peaked out just a little. Smiley smile I also have a largish one on my wrist that always shows. I don't ever cover them up.

    One of my will be hidden just cause of where it is on my leg (skirt covers it) but otherwise nope! As PPs have said, my tattoos are part of who I am.

    I'm so glad that almost all the responses are the same. We all got tattoos for a reason ..I'm not willing to hide who I am. I love all 28 of my tattoos and each one has a meaning. My FH accepts everyone of them. I would never cover them up
