    Anyone covering up their tatoos? I'm not sure what to do. They are part of who I am, but they dont look very elegant.

    I'm not covering mine, in fairness i got one done specifially on my back so that it would be on show, mine are mainly on my arms and back anyways i think there will only be two of mine that wont be visible - due to my dress covering them xox

    I always swore i wouldnt have a tattoo anywhere it could be seen whilst i wore an evening gown or wedding dress. I do agree if the tattoos are part of who you are then you shouldnt feel the need to cover them, but then at the same time, i do feel there are times when tattoos take away from the elegance of an outfit. just my opinion, but ultimatly you need to decide if you want to show them or not. xx

    I've got a rose on the top of my right arm and i'm not covering it up. I don't think it's offensive and if ppl don't like the fact that it's on show, they can leave.

    Mine are covered by my dress as I can't have anything visible in the work I want to do, but I would probably cover mine up if I had any visible ones - wouldn't want anything to distract from the dress or ring.

    I'm covering mine up as its on my shoulder and its something I did as a 15 year old and don't really like now! I know bad of me to do it so young and the guy should never have done it but we all make mistakes. I'm using a special concealer my friend gave me that blends into my own skin and you can't see the tattoo or the make up. I think she got it from QVC a while back and it is for people with bad marks on their face etc.

    i really dont see the point in having them if your going to cover them up,as dicussed in other identical posts,i was proud to show mine off,my main tattoo was used to design our wedding invites,so i made sure it was on show between my shoulder blades

    I think if its something that you like then its all well and good to show them off but mine is a mistake I made at 15. I wouldn't want the world to see that. If I had the money I would have it removed and something I like put in its place. I love tatts just not the one I have.

    Theres LOADS of things to cover that with angelan

    But i've lost count of how many times we had people on the studio with a "I just want a tattoo, any will do" attitude - and they regret it.

    if you get inked, you have to make sure you can live with it FOREVER. Tattoos are NOT fashion statements, they are a lifelong commitment.

    And no - I wont be covering any of mine.... nor will mark.

    My H2B just said - why would anyone cover their tattoos , unless they don't want them ..... He also said My tat is part of me and he knows that part of me (if you get my drift) said it would be odd if i hid it .. :) I have a serpent on my shoulderxx

    ill only have one of my tats out, the other 4 are covered by my dress as theyre on my legs and ribs. im not actively trying to cover them, i love my tattoos and piercings! even had my nose pierced 6 weeks ago so that it would be healed up completely by the wedding. h2b loves my "decorations" as he calls them. xx

    Mine are on my lower back so won't be on show.
    It's a very personal choice - if they're a part of your identity then you shouldn't feel the need to cover them up because of what other people might think BUT if you want to cover them up because you don't want them to detract from your dress then that's cool too.
    Whatever makes you happy

    It's right what they say
    "The course of true love never runs smoothly"
    But if it had been easy then we wouldn't love each other as
    much as we do right now - 1 week to go :D

    im having (well hoping to) add more to the one on my left wrist. i have a cross. I think im going to have the flowers from my bouquet added to it some how (ill know before hand as im have artificial) my other wrist is taurus my star sign. The actual word but its written in a way. i dont know the proper name for it but you can read it the right way both ways up. So hard to explain. The only thing i regret about them is there bother black and a little chunky but i can sort that with girly bits :) id never get rid of them and they'll most likely be on show.

    I really want a part sleeve but not until after the wedding. as i am gonig for a more eligent style, also i havent quite got the guts yet ahaha

    I am getting lazer removal at the moment for my tattoo, it's on my arm at the top, yes my tattoos are who I am and part of me but this one in particular isn't me now I like it still but that tattoo is my past if that makes sense and I am going in to my future and don't want my past to follow me so as a symbol of that I am having it removed before the wedding.

    Blooming hurts like hell almost like a chip pan fire under the skin

    I defo do agree thou that tattoos shouldn't be done on a whim, mine wearnt but this one tattoo is a part of my past I don't want anymore as I am not that person any more, but will be replacing it and getting new ink in the future :0) xx
