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

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.

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

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

The only problem I can see is that he will complain a lot about the pain afterwards and that it will look faded after a few years.

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

I bet you're fun at parties

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

LOL no.

I have a tattoo on my buttocks that I can wiggle on command

Get outta town. I could do 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.

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.

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