18 Brides Who Rocked Tattoos

It’s a fiery debate! To have your piercings and tattoos on show or not? Set against your demure, crisp white wedding dress, many brides tend to worry about their tattoos being on show at their wedding. For reasons of religion, aesthetics and pressure from society on what is deemed acceptable, it’s easy to see why many women choose to cover up.

Not in line with society’s “ideal” vision of what a bride should look like, lots of ladies end up spending hundreds of euros on professional products to cover up their ink. None of these will completely do the trick and you also run the risk of destroying your expensive gown with body foundation. And seriously, there is already enough to be stressing about.

With skin-showing, low back numbers becoming an increasingly popular trend in recent bridal collections, it’s also becoming harder to hide your ink.

Your body art is an extension of your personality and creativity. We say screw the haters! Break all the old traditions, be proud and embrace your tattoos on your big day. These 18 stunning brides completely rocked their tattoos and looked positively glowing (we have serious bridal envy by the way). So there’s no reason why you can’t too.
