Q: Tattoo Tantrum

So imagine my surprise when I got home to discover that my fiancée had lovingly had my name tattooed in a private area of her body. Now, for me, tattoos represent low-life, trailer trash graffiti of the body. To be fair, I don't recall ever having discussed my views of such with her before she did this, so I tried to feign some enthusiasm: "Wow, honey, I can't believe you did that. I feel so...honored." However, privately, I'm really kind of bummed out about it and the prospect of watching that thing age and stretch over the years is totally turning me off. No, I won't break off the engagement over something like this, but what on earth do I do to not be repulsed by this going forward and how do I make sure it never happens again (if it becomes a habit, I really might not be able to go forward, and I wouldn't want any future kids to think it's ok because mommy has it.)?Part of what also bothers me is the fact that she went ahead and did it without even consulting with me. Yeah, her body is her own, but still, we're going to spend the rest of our lives together and it seems kind of insulting to make such a dramatic decision without even a conversation (although, to be fair, it was meant to surprise me and make me happy). Ugh!

Mrs Disney has a couple of tattoos. I am not a fan of tattoos but I got over it. - Walt_Disney Jan 22, 12:14 1

You have no rights in this, but did you tell her your feelings on tattoos? Does she have more tattoos? -- nm - amoxy Jan 22, 12:09 1
- I guess people do not really *talk* to each other before getting married anymore. -- nm - Spawn Jan 22, 12:12
Fake. No way they would have never mentioned them if she was going to get one. -- nm - Spawn Jan 22, 12:08 8
- one of my closest friends did one as a surprise for her husband - showed him *at* the wedding. not the typical 'type' to do so. - Andie Jan 22, 12:10 3
  - in a private place? - slipping jimmy Jan 22, 12:13 2
    - not at the *ceremony*. but she dragged him off for a minute to show him. - Andie Jan 22, 12:14
    - "Welcome to Jamaica, have a nice day" -- nm* - budice Jan 22, 12:14
- nah, I know people who've done it/something like it as a surprise. -- nm - b. Jan 22, 12:09 3
  - With *never* having mentioned tats, though? If you are doing something perm like that, you work it into a casual conversation in some way first. -- nm - Spawn Jan 22, 12:10 2
    - honestly, tattoos are pretty mainstream now. if he never mentioned an aversion, she might not ever think it would be an issue. -- nm - Andie Jan 22, 12:11 1
      - yep. it's kind of odd to me they've never come up, really. -- nm - b. Jan 22, 12:13
Reminds me of the Wendy joke... - budice Jan 22, 12:08 1
- so what you're saying is - znufrii Jan 22, 12:15
either fake or he's a complete and total, utterly smackable, jerk. -- nm - b. Jan 22, 12:07
haha, it will be like looking into a mirror and watching yourself age. haha. -- nm - Max Jan 22, 12:03
This obviously fake one is a Friends episode. -- nm - David Jan 22, 12:01
dude. you don't own her body. even after you're married. -- nm - znufrii Jan 22, 12:01
poor baby -- nm - Beaker Jan 22, 12:01
get over yourself. -- nm - Andie Jan 22, 12:00
