Boyfriend Name Covered

I got my boyfriends name tattooed accross my entire lower back. Within 24 hours of getting the rather large tattoo I regretted it. I was always the girl who had something smart to say about girls that I knew who did it. I did not really want it to begin with but I was sort of pressured about it. I did it to appease my boyfriend....A BIG appease right!!!! Yeah I know. It is almost the biggest, if not THE biggest mistake I have ever made. We are not married and we argue so much it is almost like we are gonna beak up every other week. Fortunately I can fix this mistake.

One day after work I stopped by the Tattoo Shop I always go to (I have eight) and asked if somebody, anybody could please cover this thing. The first artist goes "God**** that's huge. You are gonna have to ask him maybe he can help you". So I proceed to ask the other guy and he says he can do it if I don't mind having roses in the colors of blue, purple and other dark colors. I am estatic that he can help me at all and I assure him that it was no problem.

I had already told my boyfriend about a month back that I was gonna try and get the tat removed or something becasue I felt branded and I just generally didn't like it. He got all pissy and igonored me for three days. Needless to say when I showed up at home with a tattoo drawn on me for example purposes he did the same thing again. I told him just because I was getting it covered did not mean I didn't love him or that I wanted to break up. He responded with "F**k you and your tattoo"

I was like wow he is gonna break up with me over a tattoo cover-up. He is f**king nuts. But I wasn't the least bit surprised because some things he does and says abosolutely amazes me. I think he is a narccissist so that explains his uncanny selfish attitude.

I don't feel like I need to be branded to love someone so my decision remains. If anyone is interested I will post before and after pics. The afters won't be posted for two weeks becasue I have to wait 10 days in betweeen to have it colored.

Go for it get the cover up. Let the dork break up with you. He should never have pushed you to get a tattoo of his name in the first place that is wrong. It is your body and you and only you have hte right to determine what tattoos should be put on it. Can't say I havent heard the story before through. If only I got a dollar for everyone of those that I have heard.

Be interesting to see what design you get to cover up sucha big name but I am sure you will be happier with just about anything.

If you ever decide to get a tattoo againt os how love or devotion for someone encourage the other person and yourself to get somthing like a heart, or some tribal design that you both like or even an Irish Claddagh ring. Even the Zodiac sign of your boyfirends birth month would be better as it is easier to explain to your next boyfriend. Just a hunch but you look pretty young in your hubpage pic so I would pretty safe to make a bet you will ahve a nother boyfriend or two or three in the future.

ANyway best of luck and youare making the right decsiion.
