Tattooed brides: beauty stamped on the skin

Some say that tattoos can take the classic side of weddings and some even believe that they don’t match wedding dresses. But that’s no problem for brides who proudly show the lines that are already part of their skin. The designs on her body are there for a reason and there is no incompatibility between wanting a traditional ceremony, with veil and garland on her white dress, and her tattoos.

Contrary to what it may seem, the double is great and values the day’s production even more. The contrast between the colors of the inks on your skin and the clear tone of the clothes prints a style to you that no accessory or hairstyle for marriage could provide for the ceremony. And if you want to leave them more hidden on C-Day, there’s also a solution. Here are some tips for those who want to show off their images with pride, as well as for those who prefer to keep them reserved.

Valuing the contours

For those who want to wear the designs, the most recommendable is to invest in more low-cut or transparent wedding dress models. In them, the tattoos are in evidence and gain in importance. Whatever the motivations and symbolism, they highlight the bride’s free, fearless and self-confident personality.

If you have tattoos on your lap, a heart cleavage is the ideal cut. You should look for a low enough to do the tattooist justice, but not to the point of being uncomfortable. The décolletage looks great on both full-breasted and small-breasted women. But if the arts to be highlighted are on the back, a single front dress or generous back cutting are the options. Consult your seamstress to study the best design. Often, when choosing an outfit dug all the way to the back, it is a good idea to counterbalance it with a high front.

Decorated arms and legs

Tattoos on the forearm, wrist and hands look great in contrast to a short sleeve or three-quarters. Test dresses with embroidered sleeves or with lace, with some level of transparencynext to the drawings. If the tattoos are full arm, invest in an elegant strapless model. Without straps or fabric that obstruct the contours, they are perfect for brides whose tattoos continue up to the shoulder.

Another good choice is a dress that seems to incorporate the arts, as if they were part of the design. Try models that cover all the skin without ink and show what is decorated. An example: a turtleneck dress that reveals only the painted shoulder and arms.

But if you have designs on your feet and legs, you may also consider short wedding dresses. Although they are not revolutionary, the length makes them a less traditional choice for those who dream of marrying like a princess. In this case, it might be worth researching colored bridal shoes, since the bottom will be on display.

Secret drawings – or almost

If your idea is to “play” with the designs, leaving them discreetly visible, shawl style blankets tend to be very transparent can make tattoos visible with a discreet and even sensual touch. However, they will leave imperceptible little tattoos. One bonus of them is that they can be removed after the ceremony – and therefore a valuable tip for weddings on hot days. Another alternative is to use a fake fur stole. These will cover the designs and are perfect for the cold weather, and you can take them off whenever you want. The boleros disguise arts in the arms and, depending on the length, also in the shoulders and on his back. There are transparent options in lace or mesh, and opaque in silk or satin.

You want to hide them?

To cover hands, wrists and forearms, gloves are the answer and still give a vintage touch. Like most bridal accessories, gloves are usually translucent and will make your tattoos less obvious. If you want to hide them completely, cotton gloves. There is also the possibility to choose a dress that fully covers the tattoos, with long sleeves, high collar and covered back. Some of the most elegant and modern models have such features. All thanks to the choice of fabrics with good trim that enhance and accentuate the curves of the bride.

In the last case it is also possible to use your make-up artist, who, with high coverage products, can cover the tattoos. However, makeup tends to come out over timeas it’s rubbed. This is a longer lasting effect on body parts that do not come into constant contact with the clothes.

Skin Care

Brides who’ve had tattoos for some time know that they need special care so that the design remains well done and with bright colors. It is important to avoid direct sunlight, always use sunscreen, and leave it very moisturized. And for those who don’t have a tattoo yet and want to make one, choose a date that is not close to the wedding, since the skin can get irritated in the following days. Calculate the healing time until the event.

In short, the choices you have to make for the big day are those that will make you feel at ease to enjoy and dance to the wedding songs, feeling that everything in you reflects your true essence. The constant concern with the fall of the clothes is not something to have as one of the memories of the bond! Be comfortable with your tattoos and how you want to get them on one of the most special days of your two-man journey.
