So with the dress I have in mind planned their tats will be visible.
To me it's not a problem but I was wondering on how you would handle it?
Would you insist on your bridal party covering up visible tattoos or it's not a problem for you?If People In Your Bridal Party Have Tattoos, Would You Have Them Wear Cover Make-up?
I chose these girls as my bridesmaids for a reason, they are my nearest and dearest friends and I love them. ALL of them for their faults and their best features. Their tattoos are part of who they are, true friends don't ask you to cover up who you truly are even if it's for one day. These girls still are individual people not just props at a show. If they have tattoos and i pick a dress that lets them show i would never ever ask them to cover it up. It's part of who they are (if they have a swastika tattoo or something equally as awful they most likely are not my friend nevermind nearest and dearest)If People In Your Bridal Party Have Tattoos, Would You Have Them Wear Cover Make-up?
This is an issue for me! Because I'm the one with the tattoos (and some pretty visible and large scars on my back and shoulders) while the bride, my darling sister, is having a fit about it. We have ';compromised'; on having my hair down, so that they are less visible. I have agreed to not get a super short haircut before her wedding so that I won't have to wear cover-up. She is also less than thrilled with my leg tattoos, but is far more willing to just ignore them, especially since she is the one who insisted on the tea length dresses.
I am kinda split on that one. Tatoos are who they are or were at one point in life. Me myself, I do not care for tatoos at all. I do not have any and would never get one, but i have many friends that have them. I mean a little tatoo here or there is okay, but I think the full back tatoos or totally sleeved arms in a formal gown is not attractive at all, especially at a formal affair. That is totally my opinion though. I know lots of people disagree.
I would most likely not ask them to cover them. If I had a maid with a lot of tatoos I would probably choose a more covering dress for her.
I know what you mean.
For the people who say it wouldn't bother them, what if the tatts were swastikas? Oh, that would be a different story, right? (Well, maybe for some that would be the coolest thing ever. LOL.)
If it really bothers you, you'll need to pick a different dress style. Otherwise, anything they do to cover it up will just make it more obvious.
The other option is to just accept them as they are. Obviously, they are your friends. You accept them with their tatts as it is. If people coming to your wedding will not, that's their problem.
But I know, you'd rather not deal with that sh*t at your wedding! The only solution then is to pick a different dress for the bridesmaids that covers the shoulders. There's really no other option.
Absolutely, Positively.
You also have to consider your on-looker(guests). Too many, it represents a lifestyle and you wouldn't want to offend older guest.
My main issue would be pictures though. It can look quite tacky with a flagrant full of tattoo's. They can always have them airbrushed and no one would never know. It doesn't wear off right away, nor does it smudge on your clothing like make up. My girlfriend does a lot of business in the summer for weddings and stretch mark removal.
Hey, have fun. It's only one special day like your wedding and if they love you, they won't mind a bit.
Congrats and many blessings your way!
I believe it depends on your wedding. If the ceremony will be very religious then yes. But if the ceremony is more relaxed and non-traditional I would let their tattoos show.
I have 2 tattoos and my bridesmaids and I all got together at my wedding and took pictures that showed them off!
In the end it is your day. Don't let them do something that you will not be comfortable with.
Honestly, I would probably have them cover it up if it's on their shoulder/back area. I mean, you worked on the look of this wedding for a long time, I'm sure and something like a bleeding rose or a tribal symbol isn't going to fit into your scheme. I know people that have asked their wedding party to do it, and it seems like a pretty acceptable thing to ask. It's only for one day and I bet they'll understand. =]
It would depend on what the tattoo was of. I personally hate tattoos, but if one of my bridesmaid had a tattoo there is no way I would insist that she have it covered. If it was an inappropriate image (a naked person, drugs ect.) to show at a wedding I would suggest it and hope she caught the hint.
If it doesn't bother you, I would suggest leaving it as it is. If it bothered you I might suggest otherwise, but since you say that it doesn't, I would say to keep the stress-level low and let them do as they please. Weddings are stressful anyway, if you can make it a little easier on yourself, then I say ';kudos'; to you.
If you are not offended by it then let them show them off:) It is part of who they are and their personality..and could also make some great wedding photos if done tastefully ;)
If there is any concerns about it, maybe get them all some nice shawls which match the dresses, get these for all the bridesmaids so that its not offensive and that they are all still coordinated
It's not a problem for me.Thats their unique self.I'm sure some family members will not like it but I dont care.As long as its not an obscene tattoo its all fine and dandy with me and my fiance.I want my MOH and bridesmaid to show who they really are.They shouldn't have to cover up for anyone.
I would not really like it, but i am aware that i cannot impose anyone to cover up a tattoo.. that would be kind of rude..
you can still ask them like: ';are you gonna cover up you tattoo?'; and then go from there, but i wouldn't have them clear up any part of themselves..
Those tatoos are a part of them so oh well if they show. These people are your friends right? But its YOUR day so they should be willing to cover them up if you want them too. If not find other bridesmaids.
Congratulations %26amp; God Bless.
for me, it depends on what the tattoo is of and how big it is. if its some obnoxiously huge tattoo of skull %26amp; crossbones or something inappropriate, then no.
if its a little tattoo or a butterfly, flowers, etc then i wouldnt mind it that much
no. you can't really ask them to be in it, and then tell them to cover themselves up. they are who they are. I would not ask them to cover anything up. It's fine!!
Do you have tattoos that will be showing? if you do, let them show. if you dont, encourage them to cover it up. besides its your wedding. they have to do whatever YOU want.
Oh, and BTW, congrats!!!!
You shouldn't have someone cover up something that is apart of them. They made the decision to get the tattoos so let them show it off.
No way. They could have many tats, piercings, or even have their hair a funky color and I wouldn't ask them to change a thing.
yes i would. because sometimes people have many different...viewpoints...on tattoos so if people at your wedding see them they could get offended. and besides its your wedding. you want it to be the BEST day and as elegant as possible
I just came back from a wedding in Washington DC where I was one of the Groomsmen for my best friend. His wife made one of her bridesmaids cover up her tattoos and the makeup go all over her dress lol
If it were a problem for me, I would have chosen a bridesmaid's dress that covers the tattooed area.
Considering between my fiance and I we have 12 tattoos, no I would not ask them to cover anything up.
Yes and I have bought the concealers myself so there is no excuse..bc of the formality of my wedding and they have no problem with it
Personally for my own wedding I would want them covered up.
Nope I would be fine with it I have tattoo's myself and I think that a person's tattoo's are a part of who they are
Wouldn't bother me.
no problem
I would let em show their tatoos. Totally
