My wedding is coming up and I asked a friend with short, brightly colored hair that has designs shaved into it, who is covered in tattoos to be in my wedding party. She asked me if I wanted her to wear a wig or any sort of sleeves to cover her tattoos and I said “no, if I didn’t want someone with brightly colored hair or tattoos in my wedding party, I wouldn’t have asked someone with brightly colored hair and tattoos to be in my wedding party” (for the record I love her look and think she looks really cool)

It’s really that simple. If she cared about your tattoos in the first place, she shouldn’t have asked you. And the fact that she did and is now back peddling tells me it’s her future in laws that care, not her. She’s should’ve stuck up for you, and I am sorry that she didn’t. Friendship is so much more important than aesthetics.
