If you have tattoos, then you probably have strong feelings about whether or not you want them to show on your wedding day. Some brides love showing off their tattoos on their big day, while others tend to go for a more traditional look and cover theirs up. Regardless of what you’re planning on, this blog is for you if you’re interested in thinking about what you’ll do with your tattoos on your wedding day.

Your Wedding Day

It’s understandable if you want your wedding to be perfect and your tattoos may or may not fit into that. Below are some things to consider if you’re still unsure about whether or not you want to showcase your tattoos on your wedding day.

Let Go of Opinions

One of the most important things to think about is YOUR opinion! Don’t let anyone else’s opinions sway you throughout this process. If you love your tattoos and want to show them off on your wedding day, don’t be afraid to do so! However, if you’re opting to cover up your art, then that’s also totally okay!

 

It can be hard to let go of the opinions of others (especially during the wedding planning process!) but it’s an important part of making sure that you get the day YOU want. Consider taking some time to think about what you would do if you didn’t have to think about the opinions of others.

Your Dress

When it comes to either covering up or showcasing your tattoos, the wedding dress that you pick can be one of your biggest helpers. If you have a specific goal for your wedding dress in regard to your tattoos, make sure that you communicate that to the bridal stylist you work with (if you’re shopping in person).

Photos

Photos are another important thing to think about when it comes to your wedding day. If your tattoos have special meaning to you, then it makes sense that you would want them to be featured in your photos. However, if you’re not currently loving your tattoos or don’t think that they match the aesthetic of your wedding, then you may be able to speak with your photographer about ways they may be able to avoid your tattoos when taking photos.

Flexibility

When it comes to tattoos on your wedding day, it’s important to remember that it’s okay to be flexible and you can have multiple different options! You may choose to wear a dress that covers up your tattoos for your ceremony and then choose a more tattoo-revealing dress for your reception.

 

Regardless of what you choose, it’s important to think about what you want and what will make your wedding day as special as possible. Don’t be afraid to block out the opinions of others, and make sure that you listen to your own opinion first and foremost. We hope that this article has been helpful as you think about what to do with your tattoos on your wedding day.
