My college roommate is one of my 4 bridesmaids. She recently got a tattoo of a claddaugh with skeleton hands, a crown of thornes, and her new boyfriends name in the heart she's going thru a divorce, but she's still married with 5 kids. She asked me about getting the tattoo and I said ok, but wait until after the wedding. That being said, I'm all for tattoos, I have 2 myself, so I have no issues with that. The placement and size of the tattoo is what's the issue. Its on her chest going from the bottom of her neck to the top of her boobs and from 1 armpit to the other. Its in black now, but she wants to get it colored in.
I'm getting married in a catholic church and the bridesmaid dresses show off her tattoo rather than hide it. Without her looking different than the other girls with a sweater and using extensive cover up makeup that would have to be plastered on, I have no other choice but to ask her to step down as a bridesmaid.
She has been married twice now and I was the MOH at her first wedding and was a honorary bridesmaid at her second. I don't want to hurt her feelings, but I don't want her chest monstrosity in all my wedding pictures. I can't afford photoshopping in ALL the pictures. Please help!
