I want a tattoo, husband doesn’t agree?

I’ve been eyeing a very specific and meaningful tattoo (small, 2 square inches on my forearm) for a few years. I finally decided to get it, and my husband says that it’s a horrible, stupid idea to get a tattoo of any kind on and part of my body. He says he hates tattoos and will hate it every time he sees it. He does admit that it’s my body and I can do what I want, but that he will always hate tattoos. For now I’ve told him I would respect his opinion and not get it, but I feel resentful and sad. Who is right in this matter?

    I don't like Tattoos 

    So I understand how your husband feels.

    But you should diffintly do what you want 

    If you respect and Love your Husband and you know this will bother him

    Is it that important to do.

    If it is then DO it....

    Good Luck

    Your husband said he doesn’t like tattoos, but said you had the right to get one.  How could he be wrong?

    Someone's going to be resentful and sad either way. He's going to be resentful and sad that you chose to disfigure yourself, then you're going to be resentful and sad that he thinks that way. I bet you can find another, better way to identify with whatever it is.

    You asked his opinion and he gave it. Neither of you is wrong.

    If you still want a tattoo go get it.

    I would get a piercing instead of a tattoo because piercings are removable and tattoos are forever.

    ''Meaningful tattoos' are always pretentious and laughable. Your husband knows it. You lack the class to know it too.  Maybe he'll leave you...... I would.

    You are definitely correct and should be able to do as you please with your body and appearance.  I think you husband is flexing his muscles here.  If you get the tattoo, he will easily concede and life will go on as normal after he comes down to Earth.  Go for it he'll back down.
