Yep, you're an idiot

Go ahead stupid FB girl, wear a long sleeve, full coverage dress to your outdoor June wedding so you can continue to hide your secret tattoo from your parents.Seriously, if you're too worried about mommy getting mad the tattoo that you got "because you're an adult and can do what you want", you're probably not ready to get married. Don't worry though, I will lovingly link you to P&E to answer all of your awesome WR questions.

Whaaat?

I have family that doesn't know about one of mine so I'm wearing my hair down. I'm definitely ready to get married though.

I thought/hoped she was joking until I saw pics from her dress shopping experience. Sleeves and nothing low cut on the back. I think her tattoo is on her shoulder/back? Nonetheless, she's an idiot.

Has she ever heard of tattoo cover up makeup?

That's freakin' hilarious.  She's going to be a tad warm in June with long sleeves.

Oh dear God! I manged to hide my tattoo from my Dad for 2 years but at the age of 20 I decided to "brave up" and tell him, he got over it pretty much straight away. What sort of lunatic do you have to be to go to those lengths to hide it?!  How old is this person?

jfgrad06

Salt, what is yours of? Just curious. I'm sure you're hair will look great down, it won't seem odd at all. But I think a long sleeve dress will seem out of place outside in the summer heat.

Did she SAY thats why she chose the dress or are you making assumptions.

I know lots of people who hide things from their parents.  My 30 year old friend's parents don't know she smokes occasionally.  She's going to roast though, that's for sure.  That's her choice though.

jfgrad06

Coco, I guess not? I don't really know.Dsoul, she's 21 I think.

I agree that she is probably going to roast. Mid-Atlantic Junes can be hotter than hell. I have words from my family crest on my neck. I've had it for years and have managed to never have it be seen since I very rarely wear my hair up.

jfgrad06

Nebb, the description of her photo album mentions she's still trying to find a way to keep her tat covered since her parents don't know she has one.

Nebb

How do you also know that she didnt just like the cut and the look of that dress, but will have the sleeves altered in some way.

I mean, unless it's something that might be considered inappropriate by some, I don't really get hiding the tattoo. I have one that I'm considering getting it, and while my parents were pissed that I wanted it, they still know.Of course, it won't be in an obvious location or be inappropriate, because I'd like to get hired as a teacher!

Umm..  I was going to say she is going to roast with long sleeves.  Then I remembered I wear long sleeves on the boat all year long and do not roast.   In most cases the skirt part of her dress is what is going to make her hot, not extra material on her arms.But yes, if her real reason for the long sleeves is to hide the tatoos then yes she should just grow up and just tell her parents.Could she not be comfortable with the tatoos in her wedding pictures?

jfgrad06

I have words from my family crest on my neck.Would that bother your family, or do you just prefer to keep it hidden?

Well hopefully her parents aren't friends of hers on FB. Both of my parents have FB and can see everything. I don't care, though, because I don't post anything on FB (or the internet for that matter) that I wouldn't want my parents/family to find out.

jfgrad06

I've never seen her tattoo before, but I assume it's on her shoulder or upper back since that what she appears to be covering up. The full length sleeves don't look necessary to cover it, but there are a couple of pics with long sleeves, which again, I think look very strange.She does mention her parents don't know it's there. So that is my opbvious reason for thinking that's why she is trying on those styles of dresses. Could she genuinely like them? Ehh, maybe she could. But IMO, it's doubtful.

jfgrad06

Hah, I REALLY hope she's not dumb enough to post about hiding things from her parents if she's friends with them on FB.

dsouldiva

Ah if she's only 21 I kind of understand this craziness, In fairness coming clean to my Dad at 20 was pretty scary, I had gone to a lot of trouble to cover it up prior to that, luckily it was in a non obvious place on my hip line).  If I hadn't been able to cover it I think he'd have hit the roof!

salt78

It would be bothersome. The family member in question is more against tattoos in general than anyone else I've ever met. When she found out about the one on my arm, she didn't talk to me for almost 4 months and disinvited me to Christmas. So I just don't talk about it because I don't want the drama.

jfgrad06

she didn't talk to me for almost 4 months and disinvited me to Christmas. Whaaat?! That's rather extreme. I don't blame you one bit for not wanting to tell them anything else.

salt78

Now I will say that if it came down to me wearing long sleeves in June, then I'd come clean. I just figure that I didn't want to wear my hair up anyway, so why even create an issue about it.

jfgrad06

I feel the same way. There's no need to bring it up without a good reason.

Yeah, I understand hiding things from your family/certain friends.My smoking habit was outed to the world during the best man's toast at our wedding (he's a great guy, he didn't do it on purpose). There's a picture of me hiding my head in the skirt of my dress.
