Not a tattoo fan at all but it seems to be the trend with people now more than ever. I would suggest not getting one on your neck or face but that seems to be more prevalent as well. Enjoy your ink.
I’m in his camp as I disdain tattoos of all kinds. If I was your husband I would express my opinion but likely you would already know. However that is where it would stop. It’s your body and a husband doesn’t own it but he still has the right to his own individual opinion.
I'm against them too, years ago when I was much younger and hung down at Venice Beach, I got a henna on my ankle which washed off with time, got it out of my system. NOPE on tats...
I think they're trashy. If my wife got one with your attitude I would not be happy. I've been with girls who wanted to do things like that and they asked my opinion and always took it into consideration. They always didn't get the tattoo or belly piercing or whatever I think partially because they knew I wouldn't like it. If they would have, I wouldn't have said much else though. I would think less of them for it and be embarrassed to have my family know she had one. It also seems kind of immature. You're married now. Tattoos are something you get when you're in you're 20's and being young and crazy IMO.
Love them... as long as they are artistically done and well executed. I'm not a big fan of people, men and women, who have tattoos that are haphazard in content, theme, and placement.
That aside, I wouldn't make my love or relationship contingent on such a personal choice and certainly wouldn't hold my relationship hostage to keep her from doing something she wants with her body that really isn't hurting anyone.
In my area, there are lots of people with tattoos. Seems fairly acceptable... many professionals too. There seems to be tattoo parlor in every town.. I think there are five within walking distance from my home.
My late husband was extremely against my getting a tattoo, even a small "hidden" one, so I didn't get a tattoo. I loved my husband and I didn't want to make him unhappy.
A few years after he died, I treated myself to a tattoo for my 60th birthday. A small "hidden" one. I know it's there, that's all I wanted.
I am not a fan of tattoos either but I'm not going to tell my woman she couldn't get one.
I think there is a clear difference in having an opinion opposed to tattoos and demanding or forbidding someone to do it. Especially when married i think a degree of latitude is to be afforded there.
There are plenty of things my wife doesn’t like that she expresses that I try to work on. Doesn’t mean she is commanding me just stating her preferences. It’s a healthy part of a relationship.
I was pissed when my husband shaved his beard and moustache after 25 years! LOL! So yeah, I can see getting upset about your SO getting a tattoo if you have an aversion to them. Being in a relationship requires compromise and if you don't want to compromise perhaps you shouldn't be in the relationship.
