Question

So, FH's sister is in my bridal party and she has a few tattoos. I have accepted them but now, I am worried about one. She has this huge one that is like a tribal on her upper arm. I don't want to ask her to cover them up with makeup because that is rude. But, I think I am sticking my girls in 3/4 sleeve boleros. It ***** because I am getting married in April but from what I've seen, April seems to be a cool month. I can't do a cap sleeve bolero because she has it in the middle of her upper arm so it's highly visable. Do you think it's ridiculous that I care about this????

I personally like tatoos, they are a way of self expression, however if it does bother you how about shawls or the balero may look nice as well, alot of designers sell them to match their dresses. I am having stoles, partially because my bm have tattoos and they aren't church friendly

No, personally I don't think you're being ridiculous. IMO I would probably ask her in some way if she would cover it up.

Instead of offending her, ask your photographer to airbrush them out afterwards.

You can't control how long she wears a shawl or jacket for and if just the look bothers you for your long term pics. Talk with the photographer.

The church is my main concern. I wanted her to be church friendly. I expect them to take them off in the reception- I won't care as much.

See, I don't know if I can do that- I think in a way that is insulting, you know? What if she's looking through my album and sees that? She may be hurt.
