Opinion please...

My sister is covered with tattoos! She has a huge one across the top of her back and several going down her left arm. Is it rude to ask her to airbrush over them for at least the ceremony??? I'll pay for it ofcourse...

its not that i have a thing against tattoos but its what the tattoo is...

they're deer skulls wih wings...lol

I don't think it's rude at all. I would ask!

i dont think it's rude to ask... but i think if she says no... you cant get mad at her.

i know of someone who was in a wedding party and hte bride asked all the guys to be clean shaven... actually didnt ask... demanded. if i was ever in a wedding party and i was told to do that... i wouldnt. sorry.

As long as you ask in a nice way, I think its fine- esp. since she's your sister, she should understand.

i dont think its rude, especially since your offering to pay for it!! even brides with tattoos usually cover them up! i wouldnt be offended at all, tattoos dont appeal to everyone

I'm having that same problem with FH's sisters. They both have tattoos on their backs. I don't want to hurt their feelings so I'm thinking of maybe saying something to all of my BM's at the same time. Or maybe just asking them privately in a really nice way. I don't think that their tats are as big, but I'm kinda anal about showing tats in an evening gown. Good luck though.

JUST MY OPINION....
please dont jump on me and hate me...

but a tattoo is who a person is. people get tattoos KNOWING that it's perminent and for the rest of their lives. i understand that some people dont like the look of tattoos, or specific tattoos... but if you're asking someone to be in your wedding party... they must mean something to you. and part of them is their tattoos.

if i had a guy friend that had a tattoo on his face like mike tyson... he would be in my wedding party regardless because thats who he is. my friend... with a tattoo on his face

im also extremely partial because i think women with tattoos are EXTREMELY sexy. that tattoo your sister has in that picture it HOTTTTTTTTTTT.

my FW has a tat on her back pretty much the same size. and she isnt covering it on our wedding day. just wearign her hair down so it isnt as focused on

again... just my opinion. too each their own

Sorry to say I think it is Please keep in mind this is my feeling and opinion.
My sister is going to be my moh and has sooooo many tattoos!!
I knew what i was getting myself into when i asked her to be my moh. I love her for who she is and wouldn't want her to change or hide herself for one second.

i dont think its rude to ask, if you are paying for it of course. however i do think if you feel she gets annoyed or offended than let her be. her tats are part of who she is...its part of her life. if you only want it for the cermony then perhaps asking her to wear a shawl might be another option

thanks for being so honest i appreciate it

i am going to ask her is she would allow me to pay for her airbrushing just for the ceremony at the church and pictures right after...then she can take it off for the reception (i saw a bride do this on My Fair Wedding lol)....if she says no that is fine also im not going to force her but i feel i have to ask...i think our parents and grandparents would appreciate it more than anyone else...its not really me that has the issue...ya know???

Re: Opinion please...

it's not rude if you ask her. As mentioned, if she says no then let it be. To be honest, if my brother was getting married and asked me to do that for him - i'd do it in a heartbeat!!!! I think it is how you ask (or if you demand).

Good luck :)

I fully agree with you John, I would never ask any of my BP to cover up their tattoo's, which all of them have, except for 1 girl. And I am definitely not covering up any of mine. They are part of who the person is and shows part of their personality.

I must be a crazy bride.
I am letting my bm pick there dress.
The only thing i will have control over is the designer, color and fabric.
Not everyone one looks good in the same dress.
Agian, I must be crazy

I think Colleen might be doing this as well... She wants them to be able to feel comfortable with what their in... At least this is what I think she was saying she changes her mind a lot because we have so many different sized bridesmaids that if you get them all the same dress it will be hard for them all to look good/feel comfortable...

Re: Opinion please...

I would nicely ask, and see what she says. Being it's your sister I think it's different than one of your friends. If it was one of your friends I would say don't ask
