Would you incourage your husband get a tattoo?

[Anonymous]

No I would not encourage it and I would tell him it is distasteful and frankly bizarre. But it is his body and choice.

It is “encourage” not “incourage.” I only mention this because of all the misspelled tattoos. If there is one time worth mentioning correct spelling, this is it.

Only if it’s Marvin the Martian

Yes. Two conditions 1) I don’t hate the character. 2) I have to approve the artist. There are a ton of shit tattoo artists and I want to make sure he’s going to someone with a strong portfolio and lots of experience, especially if it’s a lifelike character. DH has a full sleeve and one on his other forearm. I like them all.

We are not tattoo people, and we wouldn’t be together if either of us were. Also no strange piercings or haircuts or colors.

Good point. Most people who get them don’t have doubts,

"let him"? It's his body. Sounds juvenile AF with his choice, but it's his body!

No. Just no. A tattoo always diminishes the wearer.

He doesn’t ask my permission, but he knows I think tattoos are trashy.

I mean we are not tattoo people but if we hit a ripe old age, I'm down for getting something stupid. Like something Harry Styles has. "Big" on his big toe, for example. As long as it wasn't easily publicly visible and as long as it didn't trigger a need to get more. I don't get guys who tattoo 'made up' stuff like the superman logo (not sure what your DH's would be) so I'd ask if he could get it somewhere I wouldn't have to see it if it was visually ugly, I guess. I suggested a "Willie Nelson" face tattoo on my cooter once as I think that would be funny and DH did NOT like that idea- said he had no interest in french kissing Willie Nelson so I should consider that before I do it.

No. It would look ridiculous. Totally not his style.
