Tattoos and body piercings have become more popular and acceptable over time and people are choosing to get body art to reflect their personalities, or life incidents, more freely. Women sporting tattoos is not unusual in today’s time.
But, the question is, how do tattooed women act on their BIG day? Find ways to hide the ink or refuse to cover-up the body art?
Indian brides have been set a certain standard in terms of their look for their wedding day for so long, that the modern-day bride feels a lot of pressure to perfect her look, and portray the right image even on her special day!
And brides with tattoos or any form of body piercing feel the pressure more. Brides should have the option to choose whether they want to show their tattoos or cover them up on their wedding day. While a lot of makeup artists can hide, the tattoos using thick coats of makeup, many brides also choose to pick out their bridal wear in a design that will cover any body art.
However, with bridal tattoos being a trend, brides flaunt their inks, and even pick their dress accordingly.
“For Indian brides with a tattoo on their neck or back, you could pick a lehenga or saree with a netted dupatta that shows the tattoos on your back even when draped over your head. If you are wearing a gown, pick a backless one, or one with sheer back to show your tattoos proudly. A deep neckline is a good option if you want a tattoo on your chest to be seen. A sweetheart neckline compliments brides whether they chose to wear traditional or western attire for the wedding.
If you have put in a lot of effort and passion into getting a sleeve tat, pick a flowing halter gown in elegant silk.” says tattoo artist Mickey Malani of BodyCanvas Tattoos & Piercings.
So, if you are one Badass Bride, then confidently pull off and flaunt that incredible ink on your body and create astunning, non-traditional look for your wedding day!
