Plenty of them that don’t have enormous sticks up their asses.

OP, it’s probably sinking in his permanent a tattoo can be and I suspect that might be what’s driving this anxiety. I don’t agree that he should take it out on you and I don’t have any advice as to what you can possibly do differently because you do seem supportive and open to solutions with him which is the most he can ask. I tend to agree with you that he should have it finished before he makes a final decision because a lot of tattoos look incredibly different after they’re completely done. And a great tattoo artist can often cover up or alter almost anything!

He’s acting silly, but if it’s only been a few days, cut him a little slack. “Divorce” or “don’t have kids with this man!!” are a bit over dramatic. Imagine how you would feel if you got a really awful haircut or you colored your hair and it came out bright orange by accident. You’d probably freak for a few days too, imagining things like the only way to fix it was to shave your head and things like that. This seems like the same to me (and I’ve been down that hair color road before). Let him vent, indulge him a few days and be a good listener. Keep doing what you’re doing and I bet after the shock finally wears off things will be normal again.

This is one incident.

For those wondering- no, I didn't push him to get the tattoo. He had been thinking about it for awhile and decided to go for it. I didn't care either way.

In that case, when he returns to normal, you need to calmly talk to him about this and he needs to figure out why he was blaming you. If he can't enunciate it or if it makes no sense, he needs to get help. Hopefully, that calm conversation while help him see the light.
