My husband doesn't like my big tattoos...should I respect him and stop getting them?

It’s YOUR body, period.

My husband is the same way he thinks tattoos on women look trashy I have 2 and there a good size he likes them. I think if they look nice and like classy in a sense then it shouldn’t be a problem. I want a sleeve and my husband thinks it’s a great idea. I would say just be proud of the tattoos you get and that if he can have them then so can you. That’s what I told mine now he’s doesn’t argue

I don’t like my husbands beard and I really don’t want him to grow it out, but he’s gonna do what he wants with HIS beard. It’s HIS body. Just like it’s YOUR body. Please do NOT let a man control you!! You are not property and whether he likes it or not it’s your body and your choice on the art you display on your personal canvas. It’s not a bit tattoo problem if the others are fine, it’s something different.

I like small tattoos on women. So if I were to get a tattoo, I’d get a small one. That being said, one of my daughters has several small tattoos and one has lots of big tattoos. It’s their choice what to put on their bodies and it’s your choice whether to do what pleases you or what pleases your husband. There’s nothing wrong with either choice.

He didn’t tell you that you couldn’t have it done. He said he doesn’t find it attractive. So for me, that would make my decision because I want my husband to find me attractive and if having a tattoo meant that I lost the zing between us ,it would lose all its appeal to me. In fact, I would hate any thing or any tattoo that came between my husband and his love and desire for me. :woman_shrugging:

He doesn’t have to like it. Honestly, do what makes you happy. Appeasing him won’t end well usually. You’re married to him, not owned by him. If it’s a deal breaker, then I guess he’ll have to go.

Umm, do it. He’s supposed to love you for what’s INSIDE, not what’s on the outside.

Do you. I personally think he’s just being honest with you. I’d respect that more than lying. I have several smaller ones because I don’t like big ones but mine has big ones and they look good on him. It’s all a matter of preference and he’s not wrong on his feelings.

If he doesn’t mind it being on your butt, back, legs, then he’s not against tattoos. He just wants them where they can be covered it needed. Do you but I’d never do something my husband wasn’t on board with.

I mean it’s the wrist. You can’t possibly have that much room left… LOL finish it up​:joy::woman_shrugging:

He knew you before he said I do so he is stuck. Do what you want. It’s your skin. He has large ones. What’s the difference?

My husband doesn’t like tattoos at all. Out of respect for him since we got married I have not gotten any more

GIIIRRRRLL, Get/finish the tattoo and then get 100 MORE!! :two_hearts::two_hearts::two_hearts: Your body, YOUR canvas your choice,YOU do as YOU WANT!!! :heavy_heart_exclamation::white_heart::heart::white_heart::heart::white_heart:

My husband told me he wouldn’t “sleep” with me if I ever got a tattoo. He said they are a turn-off. I got one the day after my son died in a car accident. I got his signature on his last Mother’s Day card he gave me with a fancy written Serenity. When I showed my husband at the funeral home he told me that is a tattoo he could like. If your tattoo is good I think your husband will like it. No one should make that decision for you

Wow call it quits over a tattoo… sad. Personally I would respect him and do as he ask because he is asking you to not finish that one, not ever get any. He doesn’t like your arms covered is all. You even said he doesn’t care if your a$$ and thighs are covered. But you do you. If you want to get it done the do it.

Your body your choice honestly. And it sounds like it was already planned, a whole piece. And he would have known that already. If a tattoo is going to color his feelings about you, that’s a red flag.

Get the tat! Love is supposed to be unconditional :heart:

Divorce his ass. Find someone who isn’t a douche

That should have been something he mentioned when you both went together in the first place. Just a casual " I love what you got, I’m honestly not a fan of large tattoos on women." His opinion is valid just as your opinion would be as well. However whats done is done and honestly if you think it looks good how it is, leave it. If you prefer it filled in go do it, let him know what you decided. He simply said he’s not a fan of it and that’s alright, he doesn’t have to be.

My hubby is against them too but totally for piercings. I’m getting mine done either way it’s my body. He also says he doesnt like it but to do what makes me happy so🤷‍♀️

Not his body.
You know what comes next.

Go get it finished. He is over reacting. It’s your body. Do what you want. I love tattoos and have 12 myself. Thinking of getting another one

If it’s his body his choice then you also get that same right your body your choice! The fact that he has a whole shoulder done is being a hypocrite for saying he doesn’t like big tattoos on woman sorry sir but If he didn’t have to ask for your permission then you shouldn’t have to have his approval either🤷🏻‍♀️

Wait?! So he can get a big tattoo but it’s unattractive if you do? Ok? That doesn’t seem fair. Honestly, similar thing happened to me. I got a rather large wrist tattoo…well, more forearm than wrist. My husband at the time, hated it. Mine was a one and done situation so I didn’t need to go back and finish it. At the end of the day. If you feel the marriage will be over, over a wrist tattoo. Than there’s deeper things going on. I’m a big fan of tattoos and have several. I’m in the camp…if you want it, get it. He’ll deal with it. If he chooses to treat you any differently because of it…that’s on him. That’s HIS issue, not yours. And you deserve someone that loves you regardless of your wrist tattoo!

If ur willing to get a tattoo and just “call it quits” with him, then u obviously don’t love him. No way would someone who is truly in love with a man contemplate “calling it quits” for a reason like that, AND need to go online to get strangers to agree with her.

My husband doesn’t like the tattoo or the piercings I have but I got them anyway. It’s my body. It’s not about what he likes it’s about what I like. Just like he likes long hair but that means if I ever wanted really short hair I shouldn’t get it? I don’t think so

My husband (second marriage)doesn’t like tattoos but he said it is your body and always as beautiful to me no matter what if I get tattoos or body piercing so I basically have both. My husband only like body piercing on him don’t like tattoos we both are good and do what we like. For example if my bf or husband forbidden me or doesn’t like me to have any kind of tattoos the relationship and marriage are over. It is my body I do what I like. Actually my ex husband (first marriage) forbidden me for having body piercing he was pissed he said I told you I forbidden you are married to me I ruled you for life. I took the ring off and walk out. He said you are not allow hav any tattoos I have him a ugly look and told him you don’t own me like property or own my body. He was furious with me. I had the nerves to do it whether he like it or not. So my number one rule of tattoo is never put any man’s name on my body unless he passed away for reason. For marriage or whatever I will not put any man’s name on my body. My husband agreed and we both know it is bad luck too to do that. It is our opinions. But for my children and grandkids definitely will put on my body. They are my life.

This is my opinion, i get what tattoos i want where I want, I decide what color my hair is and when I want to cut it. I also decided to get my nose pierced one day when I was out. It is my body and my choice. Just as my husband gets whatever tattoos ect he wants. His body, his choice. I love him for himself not his tattoos ect. I feel like that is a little shallow for him to tell you where to get tattoos to be attractive. I always take my husband’s opinion into consideration but it is ultimately my decision

In the OP. Imma make a few things clear they were not in the post. Yes my husband is alittle controlling. What I wear how I look etc. always has been. When I said I was calling it quits I did NOT mean my marriage I meant the whole argument. Y’all are crazy if you think imma call it quits in my marriage over a tattoo.
Yes I am respecting him I asked his opinion. He didn’t like it. I’m deciding to still do it. It’s more of where it is that he doesn’t like not the size. Cause he said I could cover my thigh and butt with one. Yes he did say he didn’t find it attractive but I feel like my appearance isn’t what should make him love me or not. He also has tattoos even one on the wrist where I want mine. I think he is just trying to control another thing regarding my appearance and this time I’m not just gonna bow down and take it. Thank you all for your opinions they are very well appreciate and I read everyone of them.
I’m not leaving my husband because of this just to clear that up! I am getting my tattoo and I do respect his opinion. I’m just done being controlled. That’s it

Women giving up power like you giving him autonomy to make decisions regarding your body is how the good ole boys club got Roe v. Wade overturned. I said what I said.

If this wasn’t important enough to disclose before you got married it does not matter now. He’ll get over it and if he doesn’t then it’s about control and that’s more of a red flag.

It doesn’t sound like he’s against big tattoos, it sounds like he’s not keen on tattoos that you can’t cover easily with clothing… Has it got to do with social events, work, something else? You said that he doesn’t care if you get your whole thigh or butt done… So big tattoos isn’t the issue.

Live your life. Be your most authentic self!! It’s so unfortunate that your partner can’t just lone you for you, and have to make it about appearance. If getting tattoos make you happy, and make you feel better, GET THEM! Life is way to short to not do what you want. If it’s a deal breaker for him, then thats the validation you need to LEAVE

Who’s body it? Ask him that.

My husband thinks long hair looks better on women. I have a shaved head because I like it that way. He has never told me I could not shave my head. Sometimes I get a “aww… it was just getting long” but he’d never dictate my personal choice or sacrifice my comfort nor happiness for a beauty standard.

I’m sorry, but why would he even marry you if he didn’t like YOU for YOU. If he can’t get past a tattoo love, there’s men out there that would love to look at them. Carry on :heart::sparkles:

And to you other women agreeing with him…. Do you lack brain cells? She said he was getting one too… lmao.

He doesn’t like her getting large ones. I think he’s having an issue with his ego. He should fix that :sparkles::smiling_face:

My partner is the same way. He hates tattoos especially on women. He is over the top against them. This was never an issue for us because I’m afraid of getting a tattoo and have zero interest in them. If I came home with a tattoo it would be a very very big deal to him. I hate motorcycles and he loves them. I get over the top upset when he drives one because I feel it’s dangerous. Relationships are about compromise. You need to figure out in your heart what means more to you right now. Do you really really love this idea of a wrist tattoo? Do you love the wrist tattoo more than he hates it? If it was me, I’d remove the wrist tattoo to show him he’s important to me and tattoo other places on my body instead. Unless of course you love this wrist tattoo alot and it means alot to you. Marriages have to reach a compromise on many issues and this is one of those issues for you guys. Sit your husband down and come up with a compromise that makes you both happy enough. A tattoo should not be the end all and be all of a marriage or happiness. You guys can figure this out.
