    I love all my tattoos but don't want them to be seen on my wedding day as they detract from the beauty of the dress, I have a unicorn on my right arm, a dalmatian with pup on my left arm and a large me to you bear on my back, up by my neck with my daughters name and bday on, (I have more but they won't be seen) anybody know a good cover up that they have used or could recommend?

    where on your arms? if they are on your upper arms then you could use a stole? (wrap around material stuff) that will also cover the one on your back.

    I know estee lauder do a camauflage make up for scars and birthmarks but not sure how good it is. If i were you I would go into somewhere such as debenhams and ask them to apply their camouflage makeups and see which one gives the best results. They willl do this for you for free x

    im not sure what you could use to be honest but you could always ask your photographer to get rid of your tattoos in the pics. my photographer did that to our photos xx

    Nicksbex - Sephora teamed up with the tattoo artist Kat Von D and they make a special tattoo concealer. It's similar in consistency to scar-concealer so it's thick but it blends perfectly with your skin and you only need a bit to cover them up. My friend has some massive colour arm pieces and she uses this stuff and it hides them perfectly. Just google it maybe? X

    No I've actually found it ok. I'm lucky because it's a diy one and it was blue/black ink, they are the easiest to remove and after only one session has already faded. I actually bought a £99 deal for 3 sesions on groupon and shouldn't need to have any more.

    I've got a star on the inside of my right wrist, and my son's name in hebrew on the inside of my left wrist, and then both of my feet are tattoed. You won't really be able to see any of mine - and the star is really important as h2b has a matching one on the inside of his left wrist so we never cover those ones up! He's got his shoulders and upper right arm done but as he's got a suit on I don't suppose it matters!!!

    I want a thigh piece done, but I need to tone them up first.

    I think it's a personal thing. I would actually like my other half to have full sleeves, but he's not keen. My Son let one of his friends tattoo his neck and it's the worse tattoo I have ever seen. I literally thought he had drawn in thick black permanent marker pen! The letters are lobsided, 2 different fonts and lowercase and uppercase! He's having that lasered off, but will probably take alot more sessions than mine. I've not got a problem with him having a tattoo, infact I will find him someone who will do an awesome job.

    My brother's got some weird barbed wire affair round his wrist. It's horrible, but beautifully executed!!! Your son needs to find someone with a big ole waiting list - that's usually a good sign! I love tattoos - h2b's got a tribal 1/2 sleeve and tribal work across his shoulders and it's lovely. I want him to get some more, but he's not sure! He wants a Koi carp on his leg next I think, and that would look lovely. My next piece is a mermaid. X

    For anyone who wants to see my results so far, or even just look at how ridiculous the tattoo was in the first place (I've put photo's in my album)

    wow Lisa that's great isn't it?

    I don't regret my tattoos but have started to question whether I want the one on my shoulder on show on my wedding dress. Dont want it to 'spoil' the look, if you get me. Might look into covering it.

    I haven't got any that will show but I want 2 more one on my shoulder and one on my ankle. Said I'd wait till after the wedding though as for same reasons I don't want them on show on my wedding day.
    I'll be getting a lizard on my foot/ankle because h2b loves lizards and I prefer it to name tattoos, then I want a pixie on my shoulder. H2B calls me his pixie so he's going to have that too but they'll be different. He's found one he likes.

    I must be crazy giving myself only 6 months!

    i love tattoos. if i had the money i would have a full set of angel wings on my back.

    i've got one on the inside of my right wrist that says 'psycho' which means a lot to mean as it symbolises a dark time in my life that i managed to get through. i think it's pretty too lol
    right wrist
    right wrist


    i've recently got a cross with a lavender cancer ribbon wrapped around it on the inside of my left wrist. i got that done as part of a fundraising event for cancer and for my aunt who is battling cancer just now. i also shaved my head (profile pic) so i obviously love that one.

    i have a few others but the only other one that would be seen is the chinese symbol at the back of my neck. i'm undecided in whether i want that shown or not.i hadn't even thought of asking the photographer to photoshop the pics, so thanks for that idea terri!!

    I have a unicorn on my thigh......which actually wont be seen, but i have a fairy on my right shoulder, and i am hoping the straps of my dress will disguise it. if it doesnt i think i will get some foundation to cover it.
    funnily enough though, i really would like a vine the length of my back, and if i had one, i wouldnt be covering that up, i think it would look great with my dress.

    i have a dolphin on my let leg with si le hace feliz above it, a heart with an a between right thumb and foerfinger, and roses and vines going from right thumb round to writs, a tribal dove heart and symbol on right upper arm, a heart on my left boob, a rose on right shoulder blade and amie ryan and elliot in tibetan up my left arm....so a few to cover lol

    I just plan to get a lace bolero and am going to cut up some stockings and sew them inside to line it to cover them up, hopefuly.

    i dont want to use make up as i am worried it will smudge on my dress and to be hoenst i really dont have the money to buy anything like that

    my partner has no tattoos and has asked if I could cover them up for the wedding as his mum isn't a fan and he doesn't want anything to spoil our day

    I'm gonna speak to my make-up artist to see if they have anything as I have looked in a few places and it is all very expensive, I know MIL would pay if I asked her but I want to pay for this wedding myself, I'll look at airbrush makeup hadn't heard of it before thanks Jillybean

    I only heard about it a few days ago, but saw pics and a clip on the tube of you and it just seem to give a flawless cover up.. I know its for tattoos, but thought it can cover scars (i have a large one on my eye lid) and acne then it may possible cover tatts! x
