Tattoo cover up?

chelle2k9

Hi all am hoping someone can help me I have a tattoo on my arm which I would like to cover up for my wedding. We only got engaged last month and haven't even set a date yet but i'm worried the tattoo will just look awful with my dress! does anyone know anything about where I could buy special cover-up make up and learn how to put it on? x

The only thing I can think of is the special make-up you get to cover birth marks? Most of the brands do their own version, here are some links:

MAC
Estee Lauder

Is the tattoo coloured or just black?
MAC one states that it covers tattoos! I have it (just to use as a normal concealer for spots) and its really good.

Have you decided on a dress yet? If you're going for a strapless number then maybe a bolero may be easier than trying to cover it up. If you are getting a make up artist to do you on the day, ask if they can advise on covering it up as they will have the correct make up.

yes think that would be the sort of thing im looking for wonder do companies do samples ill maybe email some of them see if they can help! its green and red about 5cm by 10cm. have been thinking about getting it removed at some stage but its supposed to be really painful I don't think I could go through it! thanx

going dress shopping at end of Jan so excited! I want a strapless one but we are planning for winter wedding so probably will look into a bolero or cape style cover up as well but I would like the option of taking it off if I wanted to. haven't even thought about my make up in general was so worried about my big ugly tattoo hadnt even got round to worrying about my face lol x

A Make up artist would be able to cover it up for you, (theatrical make-up works a treat on Tattoo) It will wear off on clothes, but will last longer than regular make-up.

Good Luck x

going to check prices for make up artists in my area soon and also going to go to department stores and see if I can bag any freebies! x

I am an October bride and having a beautiful jacket made to go over my strapless dress for the day, I have a tattoo on my shoulder and if it gets seen later on if the jacket comes off, I will be far too merry to worry

I was looking at white fur cape sort of thing that just wrap around (not very good with descriptions!) but I don't think this will come high enough up my arm to cover it so will probably look into having a jacket made. cant wait to go dress shopping then hopefully ill have a better idea of what I want/need! x

Yeah I've heard that it's more painful than actually getting the tattoo done and it takes about 6 sessions to dissapear.

I have this to contend with with my wedding dress....

If it's a winter wedding, I'd presonally go for a cape or bolero.
