    Okay, so alot of us have tattoos! I myself only have one small pink star outlined in black on my right foot.. & my wedding dress is long so you cant see it. Which my FI has more & I love them!!

    Anyways, out of curiousity how many of your bees have tattoos?? Will they be hidden or covered up on your wedding day?? Or are you gonna be showing them off? Or dreading them being in seen in your dress?? Oh lets see pics!

    I love my tattoo otherwise, I would not have gotten it. If you get one you should be proud to show it no matter what day it is...

    I have 3. One is on my foot, so won't show in most pictures. I'm a little sad because it's my first and favorite. I have one on my wrist and a really big on on the underside of my left arm that goes pretty much from my armpit to my elbow. It's gorgeous and the dress compliments it well, though only a little bit of it peeks out when my arm is down.

    I have 2. One will be hidden under my gown, and the other is on my wrist and will be seen - though when I hold my bouquet, you probably won't see it.

    I have a saying running down my spine and I'm definitly NOT covering it up. it's part of who I am and i'm not going to hide something that I love.

    I have 2.  The one on my back will be covered.  The small hot pink star on my wrist won't be covered, but it's pretty discreet.

    I have a tattoo on my shoulder of a phoenix rising over the old, pre-9/11 NYC skyline that will be showing on my wedding day.

    I have one so far..I won't be hiding it though.  It's my FI and my father's name (luckily they have the same name) across my wrist.  I love it, even though people thought I was crazy.

    I have 4. 2 were able to be seen on our wedding day. I had one covered up because I just don't love it anymore. I am hoping to have work done on it but just didnt' happen in time for the wedding.

    I have one on my right shoulder blade that will be showing.

    It is my first and last initials. I got it when I was 19, knowing my dad and maiden name would always mean something to me. BUT...  the weirdest part is my bf's last name begins with the same letter as my maiden name!! Weird, huh?

    I have 5, possibly 6 by the time we get married. Only 1 will be really visible (on my shoulder). I have one on my foot and my ankle, you MIGHT get a glipse of, and one on my ribs may just barely peak above my dress. My other you can't see unless I'm in my skimpies!

    I have two - only one shows when I have clothing on.  I haven't decided whether or not to cover it up.  It's an arm band that I got when I was young and dumb.  Ideally I'd like to get it lasered off, but I don't have the time or money to do so before the wedding.

    I have my makeup trial in a few weeks and I'm going to talk to my MUA about covering it up and if it'll work well.

    Heck yeah I'm showing them off...I only have one currently and it's on my wrist and for the Epics I had her purposely take a picture of it! I'll have at least one more before the wedding and that'll probably be on my foot above my pinky toe and that'll be my "I-made-it-through-this-deployment-tat!" YAY!

    I have one that goes across my entire lower back.  It started out as two separate tattoos on either side of my back and I decided it would look better if they were joined in a complete scene.  Anyways, I made sure to get a dress that was higher in the back since my dad and grandparents (who are pretty against tattoos) do not know about them.  If it was smaller, I wouldn't mind showing it off.

    I have one on my left shoulder/upper arm and one on my right shoulder blade. I hate them both. Sigh.

    When my hair grows out, it'll cover the one on my shoulder blade, but I'm considering getting the stupid one on my shoulder covered up. I have a friend who does tattoos and I just emailed him yesterday to see if he could cover it up with something prettier. Maybe something like this:

    Brides with tattoos!! :  wedding Flowers Chest&deltoid1 G

     

    (I don't want the same placement across the chest, but I like the design itself)

    I also have one on my lower back which won't be visible and one on my ankle which also won't be visible.

    I have 3, one one my wrist that showed and two on my hips.. which would have been pretty hard to show on the wedding day! I did take my nose ring out, b/c in some pictures it can look like a blemish vs a piercing.

    I have 6 tattoos and the one on my foot, ribcage/side, back and butt cheek will be covered. I made it a point to get the one on my back lower than my bra strap so it wouldnt show if I ever wore a strapless dress. I also was kind of stickler when trying on dresses that the top of my back tattoo didnt show. I dont know why I am so stuck on it not showing. However, I do have a sparrow on my left shoulder that will be making its presence known at the wedding, along with the cross on my wrist.

    I just have one on the arch of my foot of a cat pawprint.  I will be trying to find shoes that leave it showing, but being on my foot it isn't likely to be in pics.

    I have several butterflies on my left shoulder going down wards each one is different, I have one for when turned 18, one from when I graduated from university (and became a nurse), one from when I got engaged and hopefully one after the wedding. Im wearing a halter neck dress so they'll be on display but the stars on my hip and Elephant on my thigh are both hidden.

    i have 7 tattoos total, but only the one on my wrist and the one under my upper arm will be visible. i also have one on my foot that will probably be visible in shoe pictures. i just figure why get tattoos if you're ashamed or not wanting them to be seen? i love my tattoos and they're a part of me.
