Lets just say your husband to be has a tattoo on his body and it has an initial of him and his ex wife's name on it. Will you get jealous about it and want to cover it up? Or you will just leave it alone because its part of his past?

I will not bother about it. My boyfriend has some tattoo on his hand, he regret it now that he decided to have it years ago when he still a young fellow If he has tattoo of his ex on his body I will not bother about it, it's just a tattoo He is with me now and I don't want him put my name on his body as tattoo.

I wouldn't be jealousy but at the same time I wouldn't want to see some other women's na,e on his body.

So I guess if he has a tattoo you would want to cover it up hehe.

Once it faced enougH yes I would want it covered up. I wouldn't make him go throw the pain of a removal. Thankfully my husband doesn't have someone else name on his body just our kids.

I would have to ask him to have it removed or covered. I cant bear the thought of seeing that tattoo everyday as long as im with him! If he wouldn't do it, then we'll have to part ways!

Aha! This is exactly what the girl said to the guy,well except for the "they will have to part ways" lol

according to me that is serious , although i am not a tattoo fan but still that would have not looked good. what do you think is it normal to have those the ex stuff,
• United States

Its not normal to have a tattoo of your wife or something but it is COMMON. I know few people who have done it.
• India

yeah you are right many have done it.. do you know a fact about the tattoos. if you have a tattoo on your body which is visible even after wearing your full cloths and you want to join a professional business or office or something which is very civiliased , you are not eligible to work there, infact you will not get the job.

If the man has a tattoo there`s nothing you can do. Personally I think that that is one of the many things against having tattoos in our body. But I`m old, so it is just not part of my culture. I an more worried about the future of tattoos, when skin is not young anymore.

I guess you can cover up a tattoo or mabe removed it.

I think that if anyone has intentions of carrying on a relationship with someone who has a past, should be able to deal with a body-mark. That relationship has ended, and has helped to find the new one. So, he or she should be able to accept that as part of his or her past. And move on!

I'll be sad about that. However, I won't try to cover it. It's not useful when you can delete the tattoo but your husband still keep the name in his mind. Right?

I am just glad that my husband never had a tattoo. Coz if he did have one together with the name of his ex, I'd probably be going crazy thinking about how he must still be thinking about her.

Aha! My husband doesnt have a tattoo either. Which is good for us! lol

First off, i dont like tattoos and wouldnt be with anyone that sported one. So, obviously it has never happened in my life, but if it did, I would not demand that he cover it up or remove it. I would see it as part of his stupidity and his past. You never write someone's name on your body unless they are parents or siblings and maybe religious themes. However, I would never get involved with a man with a tattoo in the first place.

I understand why you dont like tattoo. Some people do have tattoo because it has a sentimental value for them.

It's kind of silly to be jealous with a simple tattoo. That depends though if the husband wants to erase it or do something about it. It's his decision. Although I would prefer he try to cover it up.

I am lucky my husband doesn't have any tattoo in his body although he wants to have one but i think better not to have it or else i get mad. I think if even my husband has a tattoo of his ex wife/girlfriend i will not get jealous as long as he prove his love to me and did not thinking of his ex anymore. I think i just leave it alone because it's part of his past and nothing to with it or i will just let him to decide if he want to erase it or not.

My hubby doesnt have tattoo either. But He and his brother are planning to have a one. A brother tattoo, since they are the only boy in the family.

i say i would want him to cover it up. he went to get it because he was with her. now he's not with her, so he should do a reverse and go through the trouble of getting it removed because he is in another relationship. it should be my name on him or no one's.

well, for now I would not mind about it. It's the past and why should I be bothered by it. He hasn't chosen Sao I'm lucky. But maybe in real life I would ask him to cover it up. If I see it every day of course I will be bothered by it.

First of all, I'm not sure I would date someone who was so stupid that he tattoed their initials or names on himself. That is trashy, and you never know when or why or if you're gonna break up. But well, if he had one, I would ask him to cover or remove it. It would be humiliating for me if we went out publicly, and people who knew me saw another woman's initial or name on his arms or back... I mean, I'm not overly jealous or possessive, and I do understand if people kept items etc. from past relationships... but tattoos... which is part of you at the moment, at the present, and what tells people who you are... no...

i don't have a tattoo but if in case my future wife has a pic or initials of her ex on her skin, i think I won't mind. I'd take it as part of her past and just look at it a form of art rather than a cause of conflict.
