control freak for partner

That is a little excessive. I say get rid of him before he controls your whole life and ruins it. I dated a guy like that once a long time ago and it ended up being 2 years of hell.

I think its time to ditch the boyfriend. It shouldn't be any of his business or concern if a guy tattooed your wrist. Even if the tattoo was on a personal area of your body it shouldn't be a problem. Tattoo artists are professionals. They are not there to check you out and they see plenty of boobs and butts every single day in their line of work. This is like him getting mad because your doctor is a male. It is ridiculous. Dump him and find someone who respects you and doesn't want to control you.

I could understand his concern if you got the tattoo on your butt! If he is this jealous, beware. I don't know how long you have been with your boyfriend, but guys like this can often become abusive.
