Although I have nothing personally against having tattoos, I do believe that trends like this need to be seriously considered. There are long term consequences with something so permanent. For the brides out there who are already in love with tats and who wear them proudly, displaying their personality in permanent skin art, this may be the very thing for you and your intended. You can display your love and devotion to one another by sharing in your love of human canvas art. But for the brides who either have one small tat or who are not already committed to permanent skin art, this may be something that you really give careful consideration.
