I want one small tattoo on the inner side of my ankle. (an ankle sock would still be able to cover it) The thing is My boyfriend hates tattoos on girls, even the tiny-est tattoos, he thinks they are so trashy. Not that I do what ever he says, but his opinion/approval matters to me. (we've been dating for 7 yrs) I wouldnt want him to do something to his body that I didnt like. I just feel like he is making such a big deal out of a little tiny tattoo. Should I just go off and do it?
My tattoo is a smiley face.
: ) two lines and a )
Answer:
ok. a smiley face? well i think you should get his face tattooed on your back with his last name in old english letters underneath it. that would be the best thing to do! he can't be mad at that. OR if you really want a smiley face by the inside of your ankle, you should just make it part of your make-up routine to put it on everyday. and when he's with you you can just rub it off. you can even buy different colored ink pens and do it different colors to match what your wearing! How brilliant am i?
Answer:
if i were you i wouldn't go and get one.
Answer:
Hell yeah I'd get a tattoo even if my boyfriend hated them.
If he stopped caring about me just because I got a small tattoo I'd think he wasn't worth my time.
If it's what you want, go for it. It is your body, not his.
Answer:
like this =)? But lines not as big? You said you'd want him to respect your wishes of him not getting anything on his body you don't approve of. You should grant him that same respect. Though tiny, it matters to him.
Answer:
Is it really worth getting that tattooed on you? Something that small isn't worth a fight.. don't bother.
Answer:
i would get a henna tattoo so that if he gets really mad it will fade away
Answer:
i say get the tatoo because he shouldn't care if he really loves you.People can get over their pet peeves=)
Answer:
well if you care enough about him then its a negotiation and a compromise you will have to make. if he abides by your rules then abide by his. im not saying this as like a man rules a house or anything but if he follows your guidelines then compromise on this one.
Answer:
yep!
If he has a problem with that then he doesn't really like you the way you are.
Get it!
If he brakes up with you over a tattoo, then he never really loved you(I'm guessing he loves you since you've been together so long!)
Answer:
if after 7 years he is only your boyfriend thats sad but for him to stop you from doing somethings so little is crazy its your body do as u please
Answer:
the first thing is that i hate tattoos but just cause your boyfriend dosent like tattoos dosent mean you shouldent get one
Answer:
you are already exhibiting being controlled by a man, your body is your body if he like you he like what you stand for and how you make him feel, do what makes you feel good aslong as it doesnt hurt him physically but because he thinks tats are trashy does he mean that without one your wholesome but with one your trashy? i say dump that looser or be controlled because trust me it wont stop with the tats it will continue, by then youll be dull, sad and used up.
Answer:
Dating for 7 years?? Some boyfriend! It is your body not his do with it what you want. If he protest then you should protest bieng just his GIRLFRIEND FOR 7 YEARS. Tell him you'll trade the tattoo for a certain type of ring if ya get the hint. Seven yrs.???????
Answer:
i dont think id get one now
i would wait and see if later you still want one
Answer:
I would definitely still get the tattoo. I know you probably don't want to think like this, but you're boyfriend might not be around forever. You can't decide you aren't going to do something that you want to do because he doesn't like it. If he loves you now, he'll love you with a tiny tattoo. What are the chances he'll even notice it, you know?
Answer:
Okay first off back off is wrong if you've RECENTLY gotten a tattoo then you can't get blood but once you've had it for a while you can … :S
Also i mean it's like anything would you let him tell you that you can't dye your hair colour or wear contact lenses etc
I say you should get the tattoo and if he can't see past something that truely means something to you than is he worth it ? Tell him that you want it for you and that it doesn't have anything to do with him you and only you control's your body not him….
Free will.. that's what you should be considering.. hope this has helped you..:)..
Answer:
If you guys have been dating for seven years he must like you a lot, if he like you that much a little tattoo shouldn't bother him. Even if he doesn't like it i would still get it.
Answer:
I would sit him down and give him all the reasons you want the tattoo. If he agrees or disagrees….tell him you are doing this for you and that it is something you really want and believe in. If it is going to affect the relationship then I would tell him, it is something that is a part of you and if he cant except it then that is his issue.
You need to be you and express yourself as long as it injures no others. If he cant stand behind you on this decision for yourself (as small as it is) then this is his issue and maybe it is time for you to move on to bigger and better things without him. Most bf/gf should be able to get over small things like this without causing a big uprising. Yet some have issues and will never change. Either way, you need to do what makes you happy and express yourself as you see fit.
Good Luck!
Answer:
its your body not his !!!!!!!
Answer:
i would go ahead and get it. if he loves you… he should love you with a tattoo. but if you are going to do it… make it worth it.
Answer:
i wouldn't get one cuz he doesn't want you to. my boyfriend doens't want me to get any more so i'm not going to. i respect what he wants/or thinks is best.
Answer:
Its your body if you want it get it! My hubby didn't like tattoos on girls and I got one while we were dating. He ended up loving my tattoo. Now he has 2 and I have 3! He's just gonna have to get over you getting a tattoo. Its your body mark it as you please!
Answer:
I think if it is something that you want you should go ahead and get it, your body will always be yours but your boyfriend may not. I really dislike it when someone else has teh ability to control another persons decisions when it comes to body modifications. If your boyfriend loves you, he will love you ink and all. Go for it! Good Luck
Answer:
I think it's great that you respect his opinion. Now, respecting his opinion and "abiding by the rules" are two different things. If you really want this tattoo, by all means, get it. It does seem a little like a control issue.
Answer:
Tattoos are for life, bf are not always for life. Do what you want to do, dont let a man or women tell you otherwise. If they love you, they will accept you for who or what you want to do.
Answer:
hey sophie.. if you wont to get some ink, it doesn't matter what people around you say, you get the ink for you, not for them. he is supposed to love you for what you are no matteryou body art. and if he can't do that maybe he's not worth it. it's your body, and your decision, and if he loves you he'll just accept your decision. my mom hate body art, thinks it's trashy and low class ( haha she's a high class doctor and i'm a lowly student in men's fashion) but she accpeted my decision because she loves me more than she hates body art, and she knows it important to me. people that love you shouldn't judge you, or it's just .. wrong..
cheers,
sophie.
Answer:
Yes I would, it's MY body.
Answer:
i would just get it my bf didn't want me to get a tattoo but now he is happy n OK with it. if he really likes you or loves you (i don't know your relationship) then he wont want to lose you over something so small.
Answer:
idk what to say, tattoos are not good, cuz later if you have kids you can't give them blood or anything like that, i suggest you don't get a tattoo. What counts more, your 7yr relationship or a stinkin' lil' tattoo? just buy those that you get in the candy machine type of things, and there is this one site where you can get the tattoo stencils mailed to you and those come off in a couple of weeks. oh and tell him that you won't get a tattoo if you got something else that went on your Finger!!
