Nice casual summer tops that cover upper arm tattoos

9 replies

Does anyone know where I can get a nice, casual summer shirt or top that will cover my upper arms? I had some rather substantial tattoos done when I was a youngster and I don't always like to have them on show. They are not very feminine!

I'd love a pretty summer top to wear, but feel silly with my tatts out when I wear skimpy, girly camis and vests.

These days I like to look more lady like. I am slim with a big bust, so would need something fitted round the waist. Preferably cotton, good quality and not frumpy.

Does such a top exist?

Watching with interest as I have an upper arm tattoo as well that I don't like to show. Getting a bit fed up of looking at the c**p in Next & the teenage stuff in New Look - need some new ideas!

Yes, there must be something suitable for hot days. In really hot countries they cover up with cotton, so you don't have to get loads of skin out.

Hopefully someone will have some ideas, but I'll have a look around.

Right. I'll look later for you. Pretty as in broderie type? What are your usual shops ?

Do you need arms as long as this. ?

I did a list of arm covering summer tops for this thread maybe some there?

Thanks for that. Smile
