3 Almost Effortless Ways to Handle Tattoos Without Removing Them for Your Wedding
There is no need to panic or look into something as drastic as tattoo removal. Instead, you might consider letting them shine, or follow the tattoo cover up tips below to camouflage your awesome body art.
Today's brides and bridesmaids may face a wedding-day challenge that their mothers and grandmothers weren't able to solve simply with something old, something new, something borrowed or something blue.
With the popularity of tattoos, some brides and their bridesmaids must decide what - if anything - they'll do with their body art as they get dressed to walk down the aisle.
1. Leave Them on Display
Do you feel strongly about your tattoo and what it represents?
If you consider your body art to be a beautiful part of you rather than a memory of a drunken mistake that you try to hide, then you probably aren't interested in any tattoo cover up tips for your wedding day.
And if your tattoos mean that much to you, chances are good that your friends and family have learned to accept them.
With that being said, they'll love you and think you look beautiful without going to great lengths to hide your tattoos.
Keep your preferences in mind as you begin to shop for a wedding gown. Do you plan on choosing a dress that will scoop down enough to show the butterfly on your breast? Or a tea-length gown that will show off the tat on your ankle?
Even brides who adore their tattoos might feel that they are a bit out of place if the wedding is ultra-traditional. Here are several tattoo cover up tips that will let you conceal the tattoo with or without makeup.
2. Specialized Makeup Concealers
Regular makeup often lacks enough pigment to cover the tattoo effectively. Another downside of using regular makeup is the fact that it can easily slide off of the skin, revealing the tattoo beneath or - even worse - staining your dress.
Several specialized types of makeup are manufactured with the sole purpose of hiding tattoos. A quick search online will reveal many options.
Don't wait until the morning of your wedding to break out the tattoo cover-up and give it a go. Instead, be sure to purchase the makeup in advance and set aside some time to play with it.
A few hours on a Saturday with your bridesmaids will give you enough time to work with the product.
It's also a great way to get the point across to any tattooed bridesmaids that you would prefer to have all eyes on YOU during the ceremony and reception rather than on their tats.
While some brands of makeup are made specifically for covering tattoos with a light touch, keep in mind that if several layers of makeup must be used to cover the ink, chances are high that the darkness of the makeup will be noticeable to your guests and might also appear darker in your photos.
3. Camouflage Concealer
If playing with makeup doesn't appeal to you, here are a couple of tattoo cover up tips to help simply camouflage your tattoos.
This is also a great choice if you would like to downplay your tattoos during the ceremony and then let them shine when it's time to party.
Camouflaging your tattoos could be as easy as choosing a dress with fabric strategically placed where it will fall over your tattoos.
Wide straps or a high collar could cover a tattoo on your neck, shoulder, or chest. Long sleeves might cover the barbed wire around your upper arm or the tattoo on your wrist.
Another option would be to find something to wear over the bodice of your dress to make the tattoos less visible during the ceremony, and then take it off for the reception. Vintage clothing stores are a great place to look for something unique.
A wrap, like something worn with a formal gown, might be perfect for you. An elegant drape would nestle against your inner elbows and across your lower back, with a length of fabric falling toward the floor on each side.
For a lighter version of this look, choose a mesh material such as tulle or something to match your veil. If you've got the personality to pull it off, a boa might even do the trick.
While many brides skip wearing a veil these days, such a headpiece brushing across your shoulders, or even down your back, could be all that is needed to make your ink discreet.
Did you know that wedding tattoos are actually a hot trend for 2014? Even for brides who don't have any tattoos at all are opting to have temporary tattoos done specifically for their wedding day.

When a country has conjured-up one of the most amazing styles of body art around, how on earth can it be so idiotic as to ban it? This is a question that tattoo enthusiasts have been deliberating over for a number of decades now, but luckily for us, this style has broken out of the Far East and has made it to our shores.

Japanese tattoo designs really do make for some of the most impressive pieces of body art you are ever likely to see; Fact! The use of color and black and grey shading will grab anyone's attention and as this style is so versatile, it will look great when applied to any part of the body.

One of the main central themes is dragons. These legendary beasts always include very detailed work: literally down to the last scale on the dragon's body. The dragons will often be colored with very vibrant shades which will then be surrounded by plenty of panelling or swirls. A black background helps to make the central feature stand out.

Other popular features include Geisha girls and coy fish. Coy fish look especially great as a forearm piece and are even more effective when surrounded by Japanese wave patterns. Include some water lilies within this design and you will have a fashionable and awesome Japanese piece to treasure.

Traditionally, before the style of tattooing was banned in Japan, body art was often taken to the extreme of a complete body suit. As it is becoming more and more acceptable to get heavily tattooed today, many people turn to these styles for extensive work.

Japanese designs are very masculine in appearance and usually make for the best larger pieces. They can be found as smaller designs and always look better on men. If you are looking for a feminine piece, it is usually a good idea to dispense with the extensive background panelling.

There has been a phenomenal growth of traditional Japanese tattoo designs in the past few years. It used to be that tattoos were relegated to the Yakuza or Japanese gangs and the criminals in the society. Just the site of a tattoo used to and still can strike fear into people. However, Japan is a rapidly changing country and they are starting to see the value in tattoos and more and more people have a deep respect for them. For most tattoo artists and tattoo enthusiasts alike Japanese designs have always been sought after. Here are some Japanese tattoo meanings and design ideas to help give you a guide of some possibilities if you are interested in getting such a design.

Cherry Blossom Tattoos

For the Japanese the cherry blossom is seen to represent life itself. The flower is a thing of great beauty. It is strong in that is pushes itself and blooms in harsh conditions and climates and often comes out when the snow is first melting. Yet it is paradoxically fragile at the same time. It is fragile because it will only last a few days and then it will fall from the tree and land in the snow. The Japanese view this as a representation of life itself. Life should be lived to extreme beauty and everyday should be lived to it's fullest. Yet one must always be aware of the possibility of death and therefore with the eventuality of death live life even more fully. This is a great tattoo and a symbol that is laden with powerful reminders and a great guide to how each individual should live their life.

Koi Fish Tattoos

Koi fish are probably the second most powerful symbol in tattoo designs in general but also fro the Japanese. Koi fish can been seen in front of almost every temple throughout Japan. The myth states that the Koi fish swim back up stream against the current to eventually read a bridge or a gate. If they can make it to the gate they are turned into dragons and magically fly away to start a new life. The symbolism behind this design is one of perseverance which is a very deep and important concept for the Japanese. In fact they have many more words to describe perseverance, effort and sticking with something in the language then we do in English.

Samurai

Samurai of course lived by the code of Bushido. There is not enough room here to full explain the code of Bushido but it deals with living life to the fullest, being prepared to die in service and being loyal and strong. The concepts of Bushido are pretty much at the heart of all Japanese values and morals and also what is taught to most young kids over and over again through stories. You could say the code of Bushido is the heart of the Japanese culture and beliefs. Samurai's and samurai tattoos of course are the best symbol of these beliefs.
