2 of my tats are on my hips and the other is on my lower back. Since I'm not getting married in a bikini you can't see them when my dress is on.
I think tats are awesome and I don't have an opinion one way or the other. Just curious if other brides will be hiding or showcasing the ink?!
I wore a strapless dress, so mine showed. I didn't have a problem with it for the wedding but I don't show it at work.
I don't have any, but my boyfriend does. My two cents is that they're fine as long as they're not half-way covered up. Either uncovered or completely covered; it looks wierd if you only see half of it.
My parents would freak out if they even knew I had a tattoo. They are very religios people. I think my mom seen a picture of mine once and although she didnt go all ape crap on me, I think she would if it was my wedding day.
My dress is still in the alterations phase but since my tat is on my back it will be showing. The seamstress is adding criss-cross straps so it will kind of be in the middle of the straps...here's where we're at:
i have one on my stomach and one on my ankle. Im not gonna cover my ankle. I love my tat its small with lots of significance so i dont think it would b an isor
I have one onback lower back and ankle/foot. My dress will cover my back as for my foot I'll be showing my tats off every time I get a chance ( I.e. garter toss or when someone asks to see my beautiful sparkly shoes).
I have six, and three of them will show with my full-length gown. The other three will be seen when I raise my dress to show off my shoes or for the garter toss.
If I had any that showed I would wear them proudly! My tatoos and piercings are very much a part of how I look by now, and I want to look like myself :)
I have four total, and one will show. I didn't even think twice about it. I've had all mine for almost ten years, they are part of my history and part of me. I've never tried to cover them intentionally (even the two I don't like so much) except when I'm at work, and all I have to do is wear pants and a normal shirt to cover them. I'd never go as far as getting special makeup or anything though. But, that's just me.
I don't have any, but I watched an episode of David Tuttera's show My Fair Wedding where he asked the bride to get her tattoos airbrushed. It ended up looking really good, but I'm not sure how expensive an option that is for those who would want to cover it.
although i LOVE my tattoos, i think i will cover mine up so that theyre not distracting in pictures. i have a very light colored (no dark outlines and no shading at all) one on my upper back that is not very obvious since i am dark complected, and the tanner i get, the harder it is to see. the other is on lower back, so that one is a non-issue. but since my parents r very non-tattoo, i would prefer for them to have photos of my wedding that they can enjoy without having to stare at my tattoo everytime they see photos of dress from behind. also i will wait til after wedding to get any more new ones.
I find them to be very distracting in photos - especially just one big one on the back somewhere.
I have two that would have been visible in my dress, and several others; I chose to cover the two because one of them, I guess you could say I've outgrown since I got it, and I would love to have it reworked but have yet to find an artist that can come up with something good to turn it into. Anyway if it had been just the other one, I'd have left it uncovered, but because I dislike this one so much now, and I wanted to cover it, I had to cover them both, otherwise it would have been a nightmare getting the cover-up makeup blended right to show one, and not the other, and not look patchy.
I don't have anything against tattoos on brides, bridesmaids, grooms or anyone, really. It was just my choice not to show this particular tattoo.
I have seven tattoos, three that are in visible locations (shoulders and back of neck). The dress I am wearing will cover my shoulders and my neck can be hidden with my hair. I feel like my tattoos will be too distracting, so I prefer to cover them. There's a very fine line between brides with tattoos who look good and brides with tattoos who end up looking tacky. I'm not taking any risks with my look.
I have a tat on on my arm and I didn't put anything on it you could see my tat the day of my wedding
Half of mine were covered by my dress but the 3 on my arms were showing and I loved it!
I don't have any tattoos, but I've always felt like they take away from how you look in a wedding dress. No matter how pretty the tattoo is, there's something about seeing a bride in just a wedding dress, no tattoos.
Like I said though, I don't have any. And I know a lot of people have tattoos that are sentimental to them. If I had a tattoo with a lot of meaning, I probably wouldn't mind it showing.
I didn't even think about covering mine up. One is a memorial tattoo for my Aunt who passed of cancer, and the other of the Colorado State flag. Feel like they represent where I came from and the example I try and live my life by. I'm proud to see them in my wedding photos. Heres one:
I have 7, 3 of which were readily visible (left collarbone, left wrist, left shoulderblade). I also have one on the top of my right foot that is visible in shoe pictures and garter toss, etc. I wore a strapless sweetheart dress and no necklace - it cut me kind of funny w/ the one on my collarbone. I wore my hair up. I love my tattoos and would never hide them. None of them are really even big enough to attract a ton of attention though.
I've got two, one on my calf and one on my thigh. The thigh one will be covered, and my calf one may be visible during my reception, depending on the style of dress I get for it. I don't care though, even though it's not perfect, it's part of me, and I'd never purposely exclude it from my wedding look.
Although, I am a bridesmaid in a friends wedding, and I'll be covereing my calf one for that, with make up. That's because I know her mom doesn't like the ideas of tattoos, and I'm doing it for her so that her mom has less things to stress about. It doesn't bother me at all to cover it.
i have one on my ribs, one on my foot, and one on my hip, so i will be all good! if i did have a visible one, i would probably cover it though. my fiance has a total of three on his arms and one on his ribs, so he will be good too :)
I have three: One on my back, one on my ankle, and one on my wrist. The only one that will be visible all day is the wrist, but I really don't think it will draw the eye, photo wise. Plus that particular tattoo is very special to me and who I am. I will however, wait until after the wedding to get my fourth (and final) tattoo which I think will end up spanning across my shoulders.
I chose that I will be showing them off which is partially true. I have 2 that will be visible all the time and one on the top of my foot that will be visible only when I show my shoes or lift my skirt etc. I have one on my shoulder which I will cover because it says "Speed Kills". It is the name of a song and has musical notes surrounding the words. I got it in memory of a friend (the band was our favorite band in high school and this friend has since passed away). But I just feel the tattoo will take away from my dress so I will cover it.
The tattoo on my wrist is a cancer awareness ribbon with butterfly wings. I got it on the 15 year anniversary of surviving cancer. I'm very proud of that tattoo for many reasons and plan to not cover it.
I didn't really focus one way or the other, I just decided for the ceremony I'd wear a shawl which would cover them for my grandmother's preference. But during the photos & reception, I had it off and some of my tats showed. Plus I have 3 on my feet, all of which showed in my shoes.
I got one specifically for the wedding, (an initial blending my maiden and married initials) so I showcased that one with pride. The others were hidden.
2 of mine will be on show, 1 i got when i was only 16, it was a hey lets get a tattoo moment and the artist never asked for ID lol.
The other is a tattoo of our daughter's foot prints from when she was born, there is no way i am covering that one up. She is our flower girl :)
The others will be hidden, as PP said i won't be wearign a bikini so they wont be seen.
I love seeing pretty tattoos in wedding photos. I almost wish I wasn't such a wuss and had one or two myself. I'm finding it hard to make a decision as to where to get a tattoo done (on my body), though, and I'm afraid to commit before I know where it'll go.
I need some more friends with tattoos to help a newbie like me out!
I have two currently, one of which will be visible. I have a larger piece that I want done on my shoulder/back so depending on whether that happens in the next couple of months, that would be visible as well. I loooooove the look of tattoos and wedding gowns.
I don't have any tattoos, but if you want to show yours off on your wedding day, that's great. :) It's a part of your body, so why not?
My tattoo showed. It's on my wrist. I really didn't think about it at all.
I have 3 and 2 will be covered because they are on my hip and stomach. The third is a horse on the top of my foot so that can be seenif I lift my dress up but I would never try to purposely hide it.
I have 5 & wore a short, strapless wedding dress so the one of my ankle and the one on my wrist were very visible....we had a beach wedding & I didn't think twice about my tattoos showing...husband wore shorts and he has one one hits leg so I wasn't alone!
Mine is on my side, so it won't be visible in my dress. Not that I'd mind if it was, because I love my tattoo.
I have a beautiful full backpiece, so I may just get a backless dress and showcase the whole thing :)
Not sure what dress I'll end up with, but the tattoo will definitely show
I have two tattoos, and just by surprise I picked a one shoulder dress and the pretty strap happens to cover the small tattoo on my right shoulder blade, wasn't trying to cover it up, just happened that way. To each their own, I love tats. My fiance has none. :)
I have 3, upper back, foot and hip bone. I will be wearing my long hair down for the wedding mostly because that is how I want to wear it but partly because I don't want to see my tattoo on my back in all my pics. I may do a couple where I have my hair over my shoulder so it shows.
I have one on my upper back and on my forearm that will be showing, all the others won't. I don't feel they need to be covered up. I will probably also have one on my shoulder by next June.
I have half sleeves and a chest tattoo that will be showing. I love my tattoos and they're a part of me, it would look weird if they didn't show. My bridesmaids are also heavily tattooed and theirs will show as well. (the groomsmen are too, but they'll have long sleeves on)
@NorthernBelle10: David T the designer for Mon Cheri??? I saw one episode of that and HATED him....But I love his dresses....darn....
