Wedding Tattoos - Friday Jones @ SensesNY

Wedding Tattoos - to get them, or to hide them?

At a wedding we did in Williamsburg last week, the bride asked to stand on the 'grooms' side at the ceremony, because she didn't want her heavily tatted right arm in the photos. My friend Steven, a great hairstylest at SensesNY, suggested she could have used Dermablend, which is a great coverup ... if she decided to be 'discreet'. Tats - always with you, of course. And you can dress to highlight your tats, as well as hide them..

If you decide to get a 'wedding tattoo', think about it for a LONG time, and if you're set on the action, and you're in NY, you can go see Friday Jones, down on 5th Avenue by Union Square - "The two-tone brunette has a degree in philosophy, a penchant for fighter pilots, and an obsession with iconography. She got an apprenticeship in the early ’90s and hit the road — inking singers, Hollywood bad girls, military men. She’s all rock and roll but knows the ladies are turned off by grimy parlors.

Post-consultation in her calm, clean spa suite, you’ll have a custom tat fitting (working with your musculature and personality). Then she’ll pour you some wine, plug in your iPod, call you sweet nicknames (momma, girlfriend), and get to work like a pro"

SensesNY, 138 Fifth Avenue, between 18th and 19th Streets, 2nd floor (212-242-7979 or fridayjones.net).

-- and of course you can see my friend Steve for wonderful color / style -
