BM tattoo cover up?

All 7 of my bridesmaids including myself have very visable tattoos. I am NOT having them cover theirs up but I am curious if anyone is having their bridesmaids try and cover theirs?

Re: BM tattoo cover up?

  • Nope, I am not...and none of my girls have any visable tattoo's....however, I'm in on of my BM's wedding in August & she's requiring us to cover our tattoo's up during the ceremony...I think it sucks...especially since my tattoo isn't an 'offensive' tattoo...but we're just putting foundation over it and that is it...I'm wiping it off after the ceremony & pictures...OR i'm going to insert a piece of fabric on the back (the back V's) that I can take out afterwards...so we'll see!

    My bm don't have Any visible tattoos. I have two visible tattoos and I'm not covering them up.
  • One of my BM has a few very visible tattoos. I'm not going to ask her to cover them. First of all, I'd feel really weird asking that. Second, Those tattoos make her Her, and I wouldn't change anything about her.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: BM tattoo cover up? : This. I would feel very uncomfortable asking anyone to do this. I would also feel uncomfortable if anyone asked me to cover my tattoos for their wedding, especially with makeup. LM, just curious: <strong>what's the line for an inappropriate tattoo? Is that like naked ladies or swear words?</strong>

    Sorry should have clarified, I do not think that tattoo's aren't inappropriate (obviously because I have them), however, in the eye of the church they are inappropriate...and I love some of the pin-up tats (even if the boobies are showing). I think they're great & they express how people feel & make them them! 

    To answer your question: swear words, naked ladies, corpses, etc...
  • Two of my girls have tattoos but none of them are visible in the dresses. Though I'm sure some people will see at least two of them (on a foot and an ankle) at some point. I don't care but my mom does. My BM actually offered to cover hers if they showed because she knows how my mom feels about tattoos. All three of GM and my FI also have tattos. I do hope that you wont be able to see FBIL's  because he has a lot and they are wierd and inappropriate. But the rest I really don't care. 

    I am making my sister take out her lip ring. She just got it and while I don't care what she does to her body I also don't like the way it looks and don't really want it in my pictures. Again though she thought of this ahead of time. Her argument to my mom about getting it when she did was that she could take it out for the wedding!

  • I think only one of my girls has tattoos. She has one on her back for her twin sister who was killed in an accident in high school, and it's quite big, but beautiful. She also has "Believe" on her lower arm. I would never, ever ask her to cover either.

  • Oh wow. I willk have 2 visible tattoos on my wedding. I would never require my BM's to cover up even if I didn't have any.
