Usually there is always a "Visitors Center" where you can enjoy a movie or walk around looking at the sculpures. All teenagers and many adults are not able to enter the temple either...Do not feel uneasy about being a spectical....you are not, you are more of the norm as far as numbers are concerned. As far as 'covering up tatoos' and wearing certain clothes, yes it is appreciated but NO ONE is ever turned away, relax and be yourself.

As stated above, 'you can sit where ever you want'...this is true. It is always a more pleasent (or bearable to some) experience if you arrive 10 minutes ahead of the meeting time to be able to sit near the front in the padded benches. NOTE: Do not sit on the VERY FRONT row....this is assigned to the young men passing the sacrament (bread and water). Anywhere behind the front row is good. There are also usually smaller (by length) benches in the front row also...these are just fine to sit in because the young men do not use those. Members are very friendly and may ask "are you new or visiting" and introduce them selves. No one is trying to sell you anything (some may feel) it is just 'mormon culture' to be out going and polite to visitors. On every FIRST Sunday of every month it is a different meeting style. Relax and enjoy the meeting
