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 ( Read more... )
If you're in an equal partnership, then of course you don't have to do what anyone else says, but I completely understand caring about the opinion of someone that you care about.
I would have a series of conversations. The first one, with yourself, about why you want another tattoo in general, why you want this tattoo specifically, and why you want it where you want it. If you find that you still really want it move on.
Then, I'd talk to your beloved about his misgivings. If you've thought it through then you'll likely have answers to any questions he might have then he might be more understanding and then more likely to be supportive or neutral to it. If he still has a problem with it, then ask him to think about why. Give him some time to think about it and then have that conversation about why, and then you can listen, understand and then come to a decision either together or as an informed you.
Either way, you'll both have a better understanding of what's going on in each others heads, and that's very likely a good thing!
