Bwaahahaaha! Peopleofwalmart.com LOL That is hilarious - reminded me to mention that my SO and I went to the local Walmart in the town we bought a house in (closing is in Sept) and ALL I could think was, "don't drink the water, don't drink the water". I'm convinced that the website is filmed entirely there LOL
for anyone who does NOT believe in aliens .... please visit the WalMart in Roswell, NM. It will change your mind.
The turn-off would be having.g the name of the person. If, for example, this guy that I'm dating was dating a girl who loved flowers, then she died and he got a flower tattoo that would be fine. Because its representing someone who had an effect on him. Names of spouses or girlfriend/boyfriends is always a turnoff.
My husband has a tribute tattoo, a good friend of his (his intrest in her was more than hers was with him) died suddenly in an auto accident 15 minutes after they talked on the phone. At first the tatoo bothered me, but now I understand how much she meant to him, and time is a healer, and time has healed. I am the number 1 in his life and I always will be. I'm not jealous of a tattoo, my husband has me in his heart and I know that, he shows me in so many ways .
is it her name? her face? or just something that reminds him of her?

true. just as this thread has mentioned, some people are in relationships now with people who have their past SO's name tattooed. I have a friend who has her first husband's name on her backend. She has been married to her new husband for about five years now. She keeps talking of having to get it removed, but it's still there. Her poor second husband gets to see that all the time.
As I've said, it would really depend on the back story, the location and the circumstances. But it does make much more sense to get a picture tattoo (not a face!) that reminds you of that person rather than the name.........
I was thinking about a tattoo of my wife who died a year ago, not a portrait but, as we sailed a lot of sea miles together, I have an drawing based on a pic of her I took sailing around Hawaii.

Absolutely. Tattoos are a turnoff in of themselves, but when you have tribute tats - "R.I.P. anyname" or "In Loving Memory of anyname" its even MORE disgusting to me. On a level only slightly less disgusting and turnoff is when people have their kid's names or faces tatted on them. Its a turnoff to me, but others may not mind. But it seems to be a very white trashy/mexican gangbanger-ish type thing. What a turnoff.

Tropical Trouble....I think getting a tattoo of a dead ex..especially if you're planning on having another relationship...on your chest of all places...is (to me) very poor taste....I couldn't imagine having to see that everytime you're together...and there's no way I would want "her"..or "it" in between us.
I don't care much for tattoos in general. And I think "tribute tattoos" are no tribute at all. The whole point is to get the message of THEIR qualities out there. I should think a tattoo would be one of the least effective ways of doing this. Tattoos (even those intended to honor another) only bring attention to you.
I wouldn't date (or continue to date) a woman who had a tattoo of another guy on her, particularly an ex. An ex's name, I could probably overlook, depending on other factors.
