Regretted Tattoo with My Low Back Dress

So to start out; when I was younger I got this back tattoo that at the time thought I really loved it and never imaged myself regretting it.. LOL well I do Now to be fair I don't think that its awful, I think it is still a beautiful, simple and small tattoo.. but the meaning of it is what I don't really connect with anymore.. Its not something that I want people asking me about on my wedding day or having it seen in pictures.

I am in the process of working with my tattoo artist to get my current one covered up with something that truly has so much meaning to me (it relates to my FH and our first house and all of our adventures). It is within my budget to get it done before the wedding so that is a possibility. But the cover up would be larger and I just don't know if i want my tattoo to be seen at all.. also my grandma would be even more upset about a bigger tattoo on show lol

So my options here:

Just leave my tattoo as is and just embrace it since its small enough where people may not notice it

Get my cover up tattoo that actually means so much to me but tick my grandma off that i have a bigger tattoo on my back

Find a way to cover it up with makeup (if you've done this let me know how/what/did it stain your dress?? give me the deats!)

I'll post some pics below - What do you think??

Dermablend has always been my “go to” coverup

Personally I don't see it as a big deal. It's not big and maybe be as noticeable

I'd just use make-up. It's the least expensive and least permanent option.
Here's a video of Dermablend makeup being used to cover up extensive tattoos.

Well, I will preface this by saying that I am a huge tattoo fan, so my personal preference may be biased LOL If I were you, I would get my big beautiful tattoo and not worry about what anyone else thought on MY special day. I will also add that I am a person who really doesn’t care about other peoples’ opinions though either LOL If it is really going to bother you if your grandmother disapproves, then I would go the cover it up with make up option. Dermablend is a fantastic product for covering tattoos. Your make up artist should be able to easily cover your tattoo with it. It is super easy to use though, so you could also have one of your bridesmaids do it for you if you wanted. I would suggest ordering some and practicing at home. I had a former coworker who was samoan and face tattoos were a common practice. I worked right next to him for several months and had no idea he was covering his face tattoos every day with derma blend!!

I would either leave it and embrace it or get the bigger/better tattoo.
