Asking to cover tattoos offensive?

Unless they're highly offensive (as in racial slurs, not because grandma doesn't like tattoos,) the yes that's rude.

I have one small tattoo and yes, I would be offended if someone asked me to cover it. I consider it a part of me and would not appreciate the suggestion.

If I was a bridesmaid, it would not bother me to be asked to cover tattoos. It is that couples photos and I would want to do whatever made them happy.

Yes, it would be offensive to ask your bridesmaid to cover her tattoos. Her tattoos will not be the focus of your photos in the slightest.

View Quoted Comment Thank you! I’m not trying to offend anyone but it is just taking away from the dress in my opinion but i don’t want to be rude either

View Quoted Comment Thank you for this response. I am hoping not to offend especially since I will be covering my own

You knew she had tattoos when you asked her to be in your weddng. If you didn't want a bridesmaid with tattoos, you didn't have to ask her.

I would hate if someone asked me to cover my tattoos.

View Quoted Comment Thank you for your feedback. My intent is not to offend especially since i would be covering my own. But hearing another perspective always helps 💕

Are you paying for their gown ? Make up ? Accessories ?
I think that’s a bit too much asking them to cover tattoos

View Quoted Comment Not sure why there’s hostility on this it was just a question and i haven’t asked her yet. Thank you

I feel like if the bride really wanted me to then I would but I would be kind of annoyed aha just because that’s my body and I am who I am

View Quoted Comment Thank you for your honest feedback. I’m covering my own so i didn’t think anything of it but this helps a lot

View Quoted Comment Yes i am. And thank you for your feedback

My tattoos are part of me and have been for a long time. If someone asked me to cover them, it would feel like they were saying that part of me wasn’t good enough for them. I would probably excuse myself from the wedding if I was asked to do this.

Thank you for your honest feedback. I’m covering my own so i didn’t think anything of it but this helps a lot . I guess mine aren’t as meaningful to me as they may be to others. I regret getting mine . Thank you for this perspective

View Quoted Comment Why are you covering yours? My mom wanted mine covered but I didn’t aha because in the end I realized this is me

View Quoted Comment You know them better than us. What are their personalities and how receptive would they be to it ?????????
My party is all FIRST cousins we do what each of us want as a bride for our big day.

View Quoted Comment Lol you go girl ! But i guess i feel that sometimes they take away from the look itself. But all in all they aren’t who i am anymore. I got them young and without a care but they don’t for me anymore so i think that’s why I’m almost numb to why ppl really get tattoos. Mine were just cause tattoos with no real meaning. I can see why someone would be offended if i asked bc of this thread . So thank you very much
