Love it!

Show it! It's a part of you!

Oh I will be showing them off for sure !!!

Dress

Love it Natasha!! Send some pictures over! What type of dress will you be wearing? Will it be strapless to show them off?

I will be wearing my full sleeve and all my tattoos proudly as they are part of who I am .. and represent the long road i have come down to become the person i am today .... my FH is the same .. we are very proud of our beautiful artwork and will show it off proudly on our wedding day !!

I love both styles Alexis!! I'm sure both will look amazing and I can't wait to see pictures of when you'll try them on!!

Will you also wear a veil with your dress? Or tiara?

Thank you! It's a special memory for me.

That is a very good question. I'm really not sure right now. I've got ideas, but it'll depend what looks best on my body I suppose. I love a sleek lace look, and on the complete opposite of that, I'm totally digging the ruffled, tule ball gown look. Here's what I'm thinking so far:

Will your "something old" be something from your grandma?

That sounds amazing Alexis! I love the meaning behind your tattoo! What type of dress do you think you'll wear with it?

It looks amazing Maly!! Definitely don't cover it up! How will your dress look like? Will you go for a strapless dress?

Very cute tattoo! Love that it means so much!

Hello! I'm new to the Canadian Wedding Wire site (I live in the US but am getting married in Canada) but I wanted to jump in on this one. I definitely plan to display it with pride! Mine is in honour of my grandma who passed away and I know that she'll definitely be there in spirit on my special day! My photographer took this shot of one her other brides and I'm hoping to get something similar.

Wear 'em with pride! I've got 4, two of which will be visible, and depending on the cut of the dress the other two may be as well. I have a maple tree on my shoulder in honor of a best friend who passed away 4 years ago, so it will be my reminder that he's there with me. Plus it's done in fall colours and it'll go perfectly with the fall wedding I'm planning.

I think I have 9. My biggest one is a Phoenix and it's hard to cover up. But why would I??

I have two tattoos and the one that's visible while I'm in my dress is a couples tattoo. You bet I'm gonna flaunt it!

^^ THIS! Melissa is bang on! You got it, FLAUNT IT! I also don't have any, but tattoos are so personal, embrass them!

This is mine !

I have one tattoo, and it is on my right arm but it is underneathe! I wont be trying to hide it! It is meaningful to me and my one bridesmaid has the same one. But I agree with Melissa, you chose to get the tattoo, you might as well put it out there!

I don't have any- so maybe my say won't mean much...but wear those babies with pride!!!! You picked them, you love them, they are part of your personal statement! So I say go for it...

unless it is one you wish you didn't have, then by all means cover it.
