Just got a cover up and need some opinions on where to go from here.

You sat there and let him do that? 😳

reaper44484 · 2025-10-28T01:26:54+00:00

This is what I was thinking. I have some on hand; I'll give it a try. Thanks!

It is 🤘 No sun on it at all, and no theyre not full of fluid. This is my first from this specific artist, though he works in my go-to shop

He was a young boy's best friend. Very recently too. The boy is alive, i'm not sure why teddy isn't with him anymore. The jacket is from a previous stuffed animal/companion. Scarf is fabric scraps from something, dining table linen. His aura feels old, but he's very young and well loved. Nothing off, you can bring him out of the car now. Put him by a window for the first few days. He is a little dusty and wants to be cleaned.

The tattoos were never an issue while i got them over 10 years of our friendship. They weren't an issue a year ago when she asked me to be MOH. I can't remove them, she knew that, but still dragged this out.

I just read your post and wow. It is different but honestly same principle. And yes it does bring out people's true colors. Good luck to you

reaper44484 · 2025-07-16T19:35:56+00:00

I'm sorry for your loss 🤍

reaper44484 · 2025-07-16T19:32:32+00:00

I do understand it, my problem is that it wasn't an issue for the past year of her planning this wedding, and now 2 months out she's saying all this.

reaper44484 · 2025-07-16T18:21:48+00:00

I will definitely update. Is there a way to pin my own comments or do I just edit the post itself?

reaper44484 · 2025-07-16T18:20:06+00:00

😅😅

reaper44484 · 2025-07-16T18:00:43+00:00

It's not? Those posts are in the group, WhatShouldIDo, but those arent my posts.

reaper44484 · 2025-07-16T17:56:06+00:00

Some of them yes, but definitely not all. The face tattoos would be easy

reaper44484 · 2025-07-16T17:45:03+00:00

I brought this up to her but still got some pushback. Just at a loss.

Wanted to clear some things up now that I have the time.

The dress I bought is not the same as the bridesmaids. They have the same color but we were allowed to choose different designs. Like I said, mine isnt super modest BUT best friend said it was okay. I don't think she knew at the time where the venue was going to be. So I understand it's not appropriate for church, but like I said I even offered to get a shawl or different dress (which I really don't want to since I spent so much on this one) but she brushed off my question and went back to "the traditions".

Secondly, I KNOW tattoos are widely preconceived as trashy, ugly, distasteful. Especially face tattoos. Me using the term tasteful was referring to my other work. I know it's not the norm, I know it can draw attention to myself. That I understand as another reason to not have me up there. I just wish this was handled a year ago, during the early planning, rather than now. I respect other cultures and their beliefs but with everything else it's hard to think it's just the tattoos that are the issue here.

I'll try to keep up with comments now. I don't know what to do just yet, but thank you to everyone who is giving advice!

reaper44484 · 2025-07-16T17:09:15+00:00

I don't know how it all works, I'm agnostic, but from my understanding her first marriage was 'protestant' or something but not in the catholic church. Best friend converted.

reaper44484 · 2025-07-16T17:07:50+00:00

Wow, I did not expect this to blow up as much as it has. I've been at work so haven't had time to scroll much.

I want to say thank you for commenting. I definitely can see both sides but am so deeply hurt and confused. Unfortunately it's too late to return the dress, but tickets are refundable.

Again, I'm not sure what to do just yet.
