As tattoos are a controversial subject for some; many brides, in particular, have felt uncomfortable in showing them on their wedding day and tried to hide them as best as they could. But who said you can’t pull it off on your wedding day?
Tattoos represent your individuality or signify an important person or event in your life that you might wish to honor on your wedding day. There are so many ways in which you can do this—and look good while you’re at it! Don’t deny yourself the pleasure of showing off what makes you different on your special day.
Here are a few ways in which you can show off that tattoo in your wedding photos!
Ignore those sleeves
Whether it’s an intricate symbol of infinity, or an arm full of a dragon tattoo, show it off the right way by wearing a sleeveless gown on your wedding day. This will make the tattoo stand out in your pictures. The dress will add a feminine touch, balancing the whole picture out perfectly. If you’re the groom with a similar tattoo, you can show off your arm by rolling up your sleeves for some of the pictures!
Low backs
Are you a bride with a back tattoo? A low back dress will show it off beautifully, and you’ll look dapper in all those frames where your back is facing the camera! They’ll add a unique twist to the look of your dress as well. To show it off fully, consider tying your hair up in a simple bun.
Lower that neckline
Neck tattoos not only look great, but they’re also extremely noticeable when you wear a low-cut neckline. On your wedding day, wear a dress with a low neck to accentuate your tattoo. And if you’re the groom, show off your neck tattoo from your formal shirt. Open up a button or two for pictures—it’ll accentuate your tattoos all the more.
Sentiments matter
You and your partner may have gotten matching tattoos as a sentimental gesture. If, for instance, you both have the tattoo on your fingers or wrists, ask your photographer to take a close up shot of its details. This will look even better when you have your wedding rings on. It’ll encapsulate your love and seal the picture flawlessly!
