How many of your clients have had a tattoo that they were unsure of showing off on the BIG day? What suggestions do you give them?
What about your own tattoos?
Do you cover them up in client meetings, and on the Wedding Day?
First, you all need to ask yourselves a few questions. Will the couples' guests find it distracting or even off-putting? Is it something you can wear proudly while you are working at the Wedding? How well do the guests know the couple?
In my opinion, I really feel it is up to the couple you are working with. Chances are, if they have hired you for Full Wedding Coordination services, they know your personality and style. Heck, your "Tats" may even be one of the reasons they took an interest in hiring you in the first place.
For those clients and yourselves, who want to cover it up on the Wedding Day you can offer them a few suggestions… There are a ton of companies that offer cover up makeup for tatoos such as CM Beauty This is a kit that can be ordered.
A professional Makeup Artist should have some great techniques and tips on their own. Just make sure that they know about what your client wants from the onset, so they have the proper equipment on hand to work with and can show them at their trial appointment.
Here is a step by step guide to cover up a tattoo with makeup from Makeup Notebook for the client who wants to do it themselves.
Tattoos are a very personal decision, and are usually made for a special memory or something near and dear to those who get them. I have considered getting one a few times in my life but I always chicken out. Maybe one day…
Happy planning!
