Otherwise, his body his choice.

i mean... you need some serious therapy yourself.

As a woman who has my husband's name tattooed on me even if we separated I would never cover it up. He was and always will be a part of my life and covering up a tattoo wouldn't stop that. We have children together and are a family even if divorced.

My husband also feels the same way.

This ain't about the tattoo this is about your insecurities about the ex and you feeling that him keeping this tattoo means she's more important. You cannot erase his past just see it as she's apart of his past and you are his future.

Of course, she will always remain a part of him, but if he's spent time and money covering up other tattoos.. why not her name?

and if you re-married, your new DH would feel the same as OP. You can say this right now because you still love your DH. You might feel a bit differently if you were to divorce.

She.married.him.with.the.tattoo.in.place. She married the tattoo. She should get a matching one.

I personally could never be w/a guy who had his ex’s name or image on him.

Not only would I be reminded of how fundamentally STUPID he was to do such a permanent thing, but I also wouldn’t want such a tangible reminder every day of a woman he once loved.

I always wondered how anyone could date Travis Barker w/his ex-wife’s tattooed image right on his upper neck.
Yes - He + Shanna Moakler have children together, but I don’t think that is a good enough reason for keeping his tattoo.

I would ask him to please remove it or at least change it if he can a ‘la Nick Cannon.
Remember his HUGE Mariah tattoo??!
And I totally understand why you would be bothered that after ten years he hasn’t made any effort to cover it up like he did w/the other two.

Bro has three human children with this woman. Any further reminding that he once loved another is superfluous at that point.

I agree that she should've told him this before they got married, but why should timing matter? She should get his ex's name tattooed on her? I can't take you seriously.

And the kids probably would be upset that he covered it up.

That doesn’t track. And if you are the OP, it cements the notion that you are batshit crazy

It does. You are comparing the right of a woman to be pregnant or not (her body, her choice) with removing a tattoo. That is batsh1t crazy.

-not op

love and procreation have nothing to do with each other.
