Overview

• The bridesmaid says the bride texted her shortly before the ceremony asking her to avoid photos because a full sleeve tattoo might overshadow or ruin the pictures.
• She wrote that the bride and other bridesmaids also have visible tattoos, though hers are larger and would be more noticeable in the selected dress.
• To avoid conflict, she agreed to the request but said she felt upset and asked Reddit’s AITA forum whether she should make an excuse not to attend.
• Thousands of commenters criticized the bride’s move as disrespectful and suggested alternatives such as long-sleeved dresses, adjusted posing, or editing the tattoo in post-production.
• Outlets report no public response from the bride, and the events described have not been independently verified beyond the Reddit post.
