Can I ask my photographer to remove a small tattoo from my wrist?

Or would makeup be better?

We will do that on your selected highlight images if you wish to have it done on every image firstly I would suggest you have your make up artist remove it for the day which will save you extended costs

Yes definitely! It's not that hard for someone experienced with Photoshop or Lightroom to undertake.

Its a yes from us :) It would be best to know before hand though. We would remove the tattoo from key images, not all of them as that would take forever. We would remove the tattoo from all your album and wall art images as well.

Another thing you can do is use makeup to cover it up which would be way easier for everyone and you may feel more comfortable as well. I have seen some really large tattoos covered up and they look amazing.......best to do a trial beforehand though.

Hope that helps.

Yes, this should be an easy job for most photographers :)

Absolutely. Most photographers will have the ability to do this just make sure you have a conversation about it prior to the day so your photographer is aware and can make a note of it.

If it is small and the bride has requested it then of course, if it is to be removed from every photo then turn around times can take a little longer.

I don't see any problem with this. As a photographer, I would be ok with not charging for some shots, but if you were looking to remove it from every phot, it would have to done at an hourly rate for the editing. Most photographers are happy to help with a small amount of images, but not an entire shoot without charging :)

Absolutely! Edits like this can be quite simple. Keep in mind that if you are wanting them removed from every photo the processing time may be slightly longer depending on the complexity and the amount of photos supplied by your photographer. 

If you dont don't want it visible for your actual day then placing make-up over it would be beneficial (you could then mention to your photographer about touch ups)

Yes you would be able to ask your photographer, but generally I would either embrace it as it’s a part of you now or just cover it with make up if you don’t want people seeing it on the day :)

Removing a tatoo in photoshop should be a relatively easy task for a photographer to undertake.
