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!

    I think my dress will partially cover one of mine, and I'm not doing anything to cover it.

    I'm letting it be free! My future in-laws won't be real pleased, but I could care less. My body, my art. But it's up to you if you want to cover them. Dont cover just because someone doesn't want to see it though!

    I love my tattoo! I wouldn't cover it up at all. As other people stated, its part of who I am.

    I have 1 tattoo that I would really love to cover up ("PAIN") on my upper back but I have been thinking about just getting a coverup tattoo instead. Regardless of what I do (keep or new tattoo) I'm not using coverup makeup on it.

    I have 9 tattoos. I'm really hoping to get some awesome shoulder/upper chest/upper back work done before the wedding. I have no plans whatsoever to hide them. I love them (except one...it'll get fixed) and got them all for a reason Smiley smile

    I have visible arm jazz and some on my back as well...

    I will not cover mine! I have a tattoo of the word 'faith' and it has important meaning to me.

    I have my family dogs paw prints (sadly she passed away 6 years ago), but the paw prints will show through the sheer in my dress & I know she'll be with us on my wedding day!

    Mine's on my ankle so I'm leaving it. But Younique makes an amazing concealer that covers them up.

    I have a half sleeve and no I'm not covering it. I love my tattoos and would never purposely cover them.
