She’s Refusing To Attend Her Best Friend’s Wedding Because Her Friend Wants Her To Cover Up Her Tattoos

Ever since this woman and her best friend, Emma, were kids, they’ve always shared every single major life milestone with each other.
“Naturally, when Emma got engaged, I was thrilled and looked forward to standing by her side during her big day,” she recalled.
But, for context, she has various tattoos that all hold personal meaning. None of the images are inappropriate or offensive.
However, her tattoos are definitely colorful, large, and noticeable– especially when wearing certain garments, like a bridesmaid gown.
Anyway, this past weekend, Emma invited her over and asked if she could “help with some items.” She figured she would be pitching in with tasks for the wedding– which is set to take place next month.
However, her best friend hit her with something much more unexpected.
Apparently, Emma just handed her a business card for a makeup artist and asked her if she would be willing to get her tattoos covered for the wedding. Plus, her best friend even offered to pay for the service.
Emma claimed to want the wedding pictures to have a “timeless look,” and her best friend thought her tattoos would just stick out.
“I was taken aback,” she admitted. “My tattoos represent significant milestones, memories, and experiences in my life.”

So, she wound up telling Emma that it was unreasonable to expect her to hide a large part of who she was. Her best friend didn’t really agree, though.
“Emma got upset, mentioning how it’s ‘her day,’ and she just wanted things to be perfect,” she explained.
Their friends are pretty split on the situation, too. Some believe that she’s being too sensitive; meanwhile, others agree that Emma was in the wrong for asking her to do that.
“It’s causing tension in our friend group, and now I’m torn about attending the wedding at all,” she vented.
Still, she can’t help but wonder whether refusing to attend Emma’s wedding because she doesn’t want to cover up her tattoos would make her a real jerk or not.
Can you understand why she doesn’t want to cover her tattoos? Did Emma have a right to ask her to do that? What would you do if your best friend wanted you to do the same thing?
