Tattoo cover up

I have tattoos that I would like to cover up for my wedding. Don't get me wrong, I love my tattoos, and I do not regret them. However, I don't want them peaking through in my wedding pictures, or for them to distract people from everything else.

Kat Von D cover up is not the greatest, it barely covers my smallest tattoo.

I don't have a dress yet, but I know that I want long sleeve, which should cover the two tattoos on my arm, but I want to make sure that they don't show through any lace. Is there a makeup or makeup artist who could perform this? Is there a makeup that would be safe to wear under a wedding dress?

I also have two tattoos on my back that I would like to cover should the dress I get end up being low in the back. I'd obviously like to be sure that any cover up won't come off as the day/night goes on.

Any thoughts?

    A seamstress could also add a subtle opaque lining to lace sleeves. It could be in a flesh tone so as not to distract from the beauty of the lace.

    Yeah, i have one tattoo on my arm, which I love, but I know its a little harsh on my pale skin with a pale dress in photos. You can even order custom temp tattoos on etsy, if thats what you want. It's not particularly cheap but I think it makes for nice back/arm jewelry.

    I love this idea! I have a huge tattoo on my left shoulder that will be very visible on our wedding day. I had thought about covering it up but it's a part of me! We aren't having a religious ceremony at all so it isn't offensive.... at least I don't think it is lol

    I'm planning on ordering gold temporary tattoos to cover my tattoo, so it'll be a gold rose that peeks out.

    Make sure to use a powder to set whatever you use to cover with and then a setting spray.

    Dermablend. It's made specifically to temporarily cover things like tattoos, scars, skin discolouration. Have a look at their website and their videos. You'll see how well it covers. Not sure if it will rub off under clothing.
    Another option would be to find a makeup artist that does airbrush makeup. They could cover your tattoos with skin coloured makeup. Airbrush makeup does last longer, so less likely to rub off quickly under clothing.

    I think any cover up will come off onto the dress. You best bet might be to find a dress with long sleeves and a back that comes up high enough so they don't show. A seamstress could add sleeves to a dress, and they don't have to be snug but flowing instead, if you like that style.
