Tattoos in the wedding!

[Amber818]

What is your opinion about tattoos in your weddings?

I have a tattoo and I am thankful that it is not somewhere where it can be seen when I am in my wedding dress. I think that if my bridesmaids had them on their arms, I would want them to cover them up for the pictures by using a wrap or by using make-up. This is JMO and I do like tattoos a lot, just not for my wedding!

I love tattoos and every girl in my wedidng including myself has atleast one. My was covered becasue of the style of dress I had but if it wasn't covered it wouldnt have bothered me any. It is me. And with the style of dresses the girls had the ones on their backs showed. Only one girl has them where they cant be seen on a regular basis. I love my freinds for who they are so I am not going to ask them to cover somethign up. Besides my wedding was not a huge formal event. Even if it was I wouldnt have cared.

Well, I had a formal wedding and I have a very visable tattoo. It's like Gwen said, my tattoo is a part of me, why cover it?? It's their body. Two of my BMs have visable tattoos on their shoulders, I could never imagine asking them to cover them because they would make things less formal. That's not my place to ask them IMO. HOwever if you ask your BMs to cover their tattoos, all the power to ya! It's all up to an individual person!!!

Well, I have three girls in my wedding party that have tattoos. I believe that only one will have a couple that are visible with her dress on. To be honest I would prefer if she would cover them up...but since they are on her arm, I will not push teh issue. My sister has one one her left breast, and I am truly hoping that her dress fully covers this up, because if it shows, I feel that it will look very trashy. I have nothing against tattos per se, but I feel that there is appropriate and inappropriate, and at my formal wedding I do not want to see the tattoo of a heart with my sister's baby's daddy's name in it on her boob!!!!

I had 6 bridesmaids and only one, my older cousin, had a tattoo. I asked her to cover it up. But, she didn't. It really made me mad that she went against my wishes. She has a bear on her ankle holding daisy. She hates that she has it now. But, we all know she just did things out of spite on my wedding day so this was just one more thing to add to the list. Personally, I am not at all a tattoo person, hence why I don't have one. Had any of my other girls had them, I would have asked them to cover them as well. Just because it is your type of art doesn't mean I want it in my wedding pictures that I have to look at.

I have to add though, that if you have a good photographer they can take any unwanted tattoos right out of the professional photos. So if any "trashy" tattoos are what might bother you, you can speak to your photographer about them! :wink:

Yes, even your Notary has tattoos, but I covered mine just because of what I was wearing, not because I felt I had to! I won't be covering mine and won't be asking anyone to cover theirs. I say leave them!

I have tattoos, but they are in places that will not be seen in my dress. 2 of my BM's have tattoos, but they are also in places that will not be seen in the dresses. I wouldn't really like it, but I would probably not ask them to cover up their tattoos if they were visable. I want them all to look very elegant. As for me, I do have one tattoo that is visable sometimes (on my leg) and I plan on having it removed. I am just glad that I don't have tattoos that would be visable in my wedding dress.

hi all i like tattoos alot but i don't prefer tattoos in wedding.
but i think if it is a very samll shap in the arms will not be bad at wedding

I left my tattoo showing, but that was mainly because the rose in it was the rose I themed my wedding from, so it fit. My sister has a bazillion tattoos and I didn't make her cover them; although I did ask that she hold off on getting anymore visible ones until after the wedding (which she didn't, fortunately the one she did get wasn't TOO obvious). My friend had a visible one at that wedding too. It didn't really matter to me because they're all artistic in someway and almost all of them were on there backs and didn't appear in a lot of pictures. My sister's did, but that was it; and I'm kind of getting used to her looking different than everyone else. :)

I have one that won't show, my sister (MOH) has one on her shoulder and my niece (BM) entire back is a fairy scence...complete with rocks, woods and a waterfall...Becky (BM) has one on her upper arm...my BM dresses are strapless and I absolutely WILL NOT be asking them to cover them up...they are a part of them and I knew it when I asked them to be BMs.
