Ok while I see your point, you're going a bit off the edge and are throwing out unneeded negatives.

OP: I come from a very conservative family as well, and while I know they wouldn't approve of a tattoo, if you think it will ruin the day for some people you care for deeply, cover it a bit? So it's showing, but not as dark. Honestly I like the tattoo, and since you don't seem like you want to tick people off by doing just what you want (which is understandable. Family can make or break a good day), also keep in mind that you got the tattoo for a reason. It would be one thing if your hair was going to be up and it would be blatant, it's another that your hair will be down and most likely covering it. I'd say let it show, it emits your personality.

To lessen any discontentment though, also try telling your close family members about it before time, so it's not such a surprise the day of. :]

Also a friend says that if it's new--less than a year old--it may bleed into the dress, if that's what you were refferring to as well.l

Its appart of who you are. I don't see any problem with it. If your family does have a problem with it, well, its your day. I doubt they would say anything.

It's a nice tattoo, but, it is really bold, and blocky. The style could contrast a bit with your dress, if it is more lacy & light. However, if you have a more solid, bold or geometrical dress, it probably would be fine.

Makeup, like people said, is easy, comes off, and will ensure that your great aunt isn't muttering the whole time about your tattoo, or complaining to your mother. Also, if your future husband's family is strict, you may not want to offend them or possibly spark a conflict.

But ultimately it is YOUR day. If you want your tattoo showing, or feel you don't want to hide anything, go for it. If you don't really care that much if it is showing or not, and it doesn't mean much to you, and not hard to cover up, you might as well. You have very little to lose in that scenario, and you won't give anyone a negative impression just by your tattoo.

Of course, you also lose compliments on your tattoo as well.

I definetely have to agree that it is a nice tattoo. And I'm sure you have plenty enough positive feedback to see that many others agree (: You know your parents better than us and it's your choice how to look on that day but you should feel free to be yourself with a happy day to start the rest of it >u< Don't stress too much; I am sure it will just nicely (:
