Tattooed brides

January 17th, 2007 · Posted by Ariel · Wedding porn · 17 comments

002wwarz.jpeg Perhaps I’m biased because I had visible tattoos at my wedding, but I just can’t get enough of the inked wedding shots. I love the ways that offbeat brides not only don’t feel the need to hide their tats — they find the most gorgeous ways of showcasing their body adornments.

Read on to see a few of my favorite tattooed brides from the Offbeat Bride photo group and elsewhere on Flickr. And if you’re inspired, leave a comment with your photos of beautiful wedding tattoos!

PS: I’ve found so many beautifully tattooed brides that I’ve started a whole collection of posts about brides with tattooes!

    HI! Hey! I got my (your…THE) book today, and it is absolutely Beeyouuutiful! Scott asked me why I’m not published. Heh. I also have a cute inked bride - sadly, I didn’t get any pictures of the gorgeous (made up with sparkles!) girls with full “sleeve” tats.

    PPS You have such nice handwriting…I thought my mum had sent me something at first!

    I have a slightly bummer version of the visible-tattoo-wedding…

    A few years ago I was a bridesmaid to my childhood best friend. She was marrying a very, very well-to-do man with a lot of foreign relatives, all of whom ultimately ended up at some point staring in disgust at my exposed full sleeve tattoos. I became increasingly self-conscious (and angry at myself for feeling that way) over the course of the show, which culminated in the photographer taking great pains to leave me out of the photos.

    I pulled a chair up to the table with shrimp on it and ate just about the whole platter, inviting guests to come have a bite with me and shrugging when they turned me down.

    Also, it was a seriously fugly bridesmaid’s dress that cost me nearly $300. Bitches.

    Hey Ariel,
    I was browsing flickr, and found this great photo of a tattooed bride and her bridesmaids. Might be one of my favorites that I’ve seen. I had to share it.

    I love these pictures of all the tattooed brides, I was looking for pics of my sister in law and brother, she’s all tatted up and she made her own dress, it was beautiful, skulls and roses on it, chains for straps and my brother had a big mohawk, totally cute, I’m gonna find some good shots I can post. You’ll love them!!
