Tattooed brides
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!
Ariel, I’ll have you...

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

After all this talk of tattooed brides, I couldn’t resist posting this awesome wedding cake. Apparently this delicacy was inspired by Sailor Jerry tattoo flash. Pretty much the most perfect cake ever for a rockabilly couple. [...]

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.

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.

You’ll love them!!
