I have heard a lot of girls saying they want to cover their tattoos for their wedding and I don’t understand why?
Has anyone done that? Could u tell me why u decided to?

probably because you want to be (or look) very pure on your wedding. i have two tattoos, i want to get more but kind of want to wait till after my marriage ceremony.
Well I don’t have tattoos, but it’s probably 1. in-laws. 2. The tattoo was a mistake they made when they were younger so they aren’t proud of it anyway.
Yeah, I hear that all the time.
And I’m getting a lot of these comments from friends of mine, who tell me I should cover mine for prom.
Pfft.
Probably because they don’t want the guests to think they look trashy on their special day.
i think its cause you dont want people looking at ur tat and not you.
I guess sometimes a hubby migt get upset by a tatoo abd request to have it taken off.That’s all I can think of.Sorry.
I have a tattoo on my back and considered covering it on my big day, but then I realized that I got it to flaunt it! My mom was a little ticked off about it saying it was “inappropriate” with all the older people who were going to be there. I say if they don’t like it they can leave! Looking back on all my pictures I am glad that I choose not to cover it up, although my veil did cover it during most of the wedding, giving it a silouhette look.
Because I don’t need people asking me a bunch of questions about all my tattoos. It’s about the bride, not her art. All my tattoos are in places that a t-shirt covers, but not a backless gown.
However, I have a friend who chose her wedding dress based on the way it shows off her tattoos…
Probably because they care what people think, which is silly. But the only reason I can think of is to not un-impress the older people there..which is silly. I’d never cover mine if I got married, but my boyfriend has a lot so it def wouldn’t be him telling me to cover it up.
Personally i love having a tattoo but i would want mine covered on my wedding day so i look more elegant and classy.
I covered mine, because like some answers it was one day for me to look elegant and classy! I in no way think that tattoos are not classy! I absolutely love my tatoo’s and put alot of men that think they are hot stuff with all their tattoos in their place when they see mine! But I just wanted for one day to be the woman that walks down the aisle and has all those old geysers whispering ‘how beautiful I was’ and not rubbernecking trying to figure out what my tattoos were! Plus, I was in church! I thought that I might show the Man Upstairs a little respect too!
I didn’t cover my tattoos for my ceremony but I love my tats they are a part of me and I love to show them. They probably didn’t want them showing in pictures or worried how they’d look against a white gown….
becasue you want ALL of your guests to respect you. older gueasts might think less of you for ” ruining your body and ofcourse you want the younger guests to respect you also. plus… in many years from now, when u se ur wedding pictures, u might not want to see tattoos in all the pictures.
I don’t know. I didn’t cover mine. Most girls think that they look sort of un-classy when mixed with a wedding dress.
In my case – I wanted to cover it up as my Mother is very old fashion and to have her last daughter married with a big tat which covers my left arm was something I did for her. She never asked me to do it, I just knew that it would make her feel better. My day but my Mom means more.. Good luck with your decision
when i get married, i will show my tattoos with pride!! i have a son and have already been married. i dont care if people know im not “pure”
or better yet, come to my wedding. its going to be my day, and it will be how i want it to be!!
my tattoos are a part of me, and if someone doesnt like them, they shouldnt look
I’ve wondered the same thing. I know for my wedding day, I am planning on wearing a dress that shows off all of my tattoos.
Perhaps their tattoos clash with the colors of their wedding, or they’d like the focus to be on their hair/dress/whatever else is important to them.
I’m not of this opinion however. My husband and I are having a belated wedding ceremony/reception this autumn (as we had a very small private ceremony for immediate family this past winter) and I fully intend to show my ink with pride. My tattoos, however, are all black, gray, and red… where the colors of my wedding are ivory, black and crimson… so there isn’t a color-clashing issue. My husband is also a tattoo enthusiast, and sees my tattoos as a part of me, the woman he loves, and ergo they should be shown on the day that is intended to celebrate us, and our love. I think tattoos that are truly meaningful, which you accept as a part of your body, will never be something you’re looking to cover up. Often, I even forget I have them.
Dear you should…. because it looks cool when you r marrying with the same guy you having been loving and he knows somehow that you have tattoos on any part of ur body but u must knw , every man is not same like other man .. means he may not like tattoos , may be he hates tattoos , so its feel and looks bad before marriage….
Cuz he could be stranger he may think you something …. u know what …
