My personal feeling as a makeup artist that has covered many tattoos on brides and their bridesmaids is to let your ink show. I think if you have tattoos and you and/or your fiancé want your wedding to be about you, then I feel that it’s ok to let them show. Everyone that will attend your wedding has already seen your tattoos and they love you for you. So if they accepted it when they first met you, I feel they will not want to see you hide a part of you. Just know when thinking about getting your first tattoo that somewhere down the line you may be asked to be in a wedding or that you will be a bride one day. So, love your ink and enjoy your day inked up or not.

The day has come, one of the most important days in a bride’s life, her WEDDING DAY. A topic that will come up throughout the planning by many is TATTOOS, should it or should it not be covered? Many brides fight with this challenge if they are inked up and or if their wedding party is. Tattoos showing at a traditional wedding are sometimes not too popular amongst parents and their friends. With destination weddings and more eclectic weddings, tattoos in the wedding party are a creative way for the bride & groom express themselves.
