What do you do when your husband doesn't want you to get another tattoo?
I want a mermaid tattooed on my hip/thigh. I told Eric about this and he didn't seem very pleased about it. I asked him why and he replied "I think you look beautiful just the way you are. You don't need anymore tattoos."
While his sentiment was sweet, I was left feeling a little hurt. He married me knowing I have tattoos and I never said I didn't want anymore. So why the resistance? I know that it's my body and I should just get one if I so desire but it's hard to make a huge commitment like that knowing your spouse doesn't support the idea. Not only will I have to live with my new ink but so will he. I don't want this image to spark something negative in him every time he sees it. He has told me he won't stop me from doing what I want and that it is my body, but I still feel conflicted. What should I do?
