Today, my boyfriend confessed to me that the only reason he's with me is because I'm a good tattoo artist and he's too broke to pay for his own tattoos. We've been together for two years. FML
I agree, your life sucks (17977) - you totally deserved it (1329)

Being with someone for tattoos is a hell of a lot better than being with someone for money. Which some women are notorious for.
Tattoo:
-your name on his dick.
-a "open 24/7" on his lower back
Smell that? Sweet revenge...
#63 - On 02/09/2010 at 2:15pm by Hendrixguy
give him a tattoo on his back one day and make it bitchy lol like something dumb or just mean he will think it's something else too and he can remove it :)
@Rocco1990: What's the difference? A gold digger could use the money to buy tattoos.
#114 - On 02/10/2010 at 3:08am by ohSNAPyall
Yeah.. I agree with the tramp stamp idea..
Also, I'm tempted to say: YDI for living in a trailer, but somehow I think people won't like that..
#116 - On 02/10/2010 at 3:35am by Secret_Fire_King
"living in a trailer"? are you serious? tattoo artists make way more money than you can fucking dream of. the good ones make $100+ an hour.
Why is FML filled with serial killers and psycopaths???
#26 - On 02/09/2010 at 11:10am by MetroidSlayer01
Because some of us are not allowed out of the house until the ankle bracelet comes off.
#45 - On 02/09/2010 at 12:31pm by CallMeHush
The guy is only with her because he is broke and can't afford tattoos and she gives him them for free.
at least he was pretentiing to be straight like my ex was. fyl
#4 - On 02/09/2010 at 10:04am by xlovelessx
Being "gay" isn't bad. He needs something to show how much of a true asshole and mooch he is.
May I suggest "Broke Ass" with a picture of a bag of money with a red circle and slash over it. OR "Small Dick" with a picture of a tiny dick. That would be funny.
you should tattoo a picture of another man on his back
#10 - On 02/09/2010 at 10:12am by Paulbrophyiii
i know your pain.im a tattoo artist too and ive now done three on my bf and several on my mates.at mates rates or free. and sometimes i feel like they are taking the piss
#14 - On 02/09/2010 at 10:19am by xxraggaxmuffinxx
You know how to take a tattoo back, right? Cheese grater.
#15 - On 02/09/2010 at 10:25am by sneeze_watch
I agree with all of them... tattoo a dick on his forehead with some gay pride stuff then dump his loser ass
My I suggest you give him one last tattoo? Preferably with the word "loser" prominently featured.
#17 - On 02/09/2010 at 10:36am by Jewelofagal
oh whatta jerkkk. you must do good work then :)
I'm a girl tattoo artist too - my boyfriend hasn't paid for a single one yet ... only the dinners afterwards!
Your fault for giving away your time, materials and talent to an actual ungrateful prick.
#20 - On 02/09/2010 at 10:44am by thighsofglory
I'll try to make an explanation simple enough for you.
Let's say you paint cars for a living. That's how you pay your bills and feed yourself. Your boyfriend wants custom paint. If you paint his car for free -- paying for the paint, investing your time, space in your shop, possibly turning away paying work to do this job for free, you are a fool and a mark. You have also set the precedent that you can be had. Your next boyfriend will want his car painted for free, too. Your friends and relatives will want in on the sweet deal as well. Human nature and all that.
A professional artist is just that, professional. If your client would expect to pay a stranger than you should demand they pay a friend.
#30 - On 02/09/2010 at 11:24am by thighsofglory
21-jumped the gun on that one there didn't ya? little hint: dont tell someone to "fall off the face of the earth" cause you look like a jackass now.
and yeah I don't get why she wasn't charging him anything! I mean maybe give him a good deal, or the first one free, but good artists charge $100s per hour! all that time effort and materials wouldn't have been a total waste if you just charged him half price.
#36 - On 02/09/2010 at 11:46am by KarasuFyre
20,30- dummy.... ppl don't plan for their next bf/ gf- except u! and when ppl r together 4 2fxxking yrs, how their charge each other for smth like that...?? U must be one of those cheap douchebags.... I run restaurant business...and when my bf comes, I should charge him like ur said..... LOL
They charge each other for smth like that from the beginning, or risk the accusation of one using the other for sex. Or food.
#39 - On 02/09/2010 at 12:03pm by thighsofglory
38- unless you work in a high end fancy restaurant (which based on your ability to speak I would guess not) a free meal is not the same as a free tattoo. ONE decent sized, detailed tattoo from a good artist costs hundreds of dollars. and I would imagine he's been getting many over the course of two years.
#40 - On 02/09/2010 at 12:10pm by KarasuFyre
Act like you don't care, and the next time he asks for a tattoo make sure it's the words "FUCK YOU, JACKASS" as big as possible somewhere rather obvious. Then see if he can get a job to pay for its removal.
well, he's a dumb ass for admitting that. your worse if you kept him around after admitting that!!! dump him!!
#25 - On 02/09/2010 at 11:07am by roxiefab
OP I hope you promptly dumped him. Lesson for next time, no free tattoos!
#28 - On 02/09/2010 at 11:20am by Babushka_Homyak
what the fuck did you expect? all people with tats, save for a few musicians with talent, are societal misfit losers who will never earn more than a meager wage and will have to struggle to pay their bills and mooch off of the generousity of others all of their life. Case Study Number 1.
what about every single professional athlete?
yeah, you're an idiot
#44 - On 02/09/2010 at 12:29pm by attiladakilla
so the OP is a societal misfit loser also? last time I checked there are only a handfull of tattoo artists in business who don't have any themselves
What the hell? 29, you are an ignoramous. I have 2 tattoos, with at least 2 more planned for later, but I'm in college working towards being a teacher! My current and future tattoos are all going to be in places easily covered by clothing, but visible when I wear a swimsuit. They have deep meaning for me, and for some people, that's what tattoos are for. Tattoos does not a societal misfit make.
#47 - On 02/09/2010 at 12:36pm by DreamerofWorlds
@DOOD You sir are a tool.
There are plenty of us that do OK for themselves that have ink. Just because you have it does not mean that it needs to be on full display.
#50 - On 02/09/2010 at 12:50pm by CallMeHush
I saw a doctor with a prominent tattoo on his forearm. Which was visible while he was on the job. Societal misfit loser?
I've got tattoos and I'm not a social misfit, I have a great wage, I don't struggle with my bills and I don't mooch off other people.
But I guess idiots like you wouldn't understand.
#54 - On 02/09/2010 at 1:12pm by Moonstarmist
LOL "Dood." I would LOVE to know what you do for a living. Obviously, you are a success with your "undefiled" body. However, I am a loser because I have 9 tattoos (all easily covered by clothing) and I plan to earn a meager wage as a lawyer once I have finally finished law school. Oh what a degenerate I am! Furthermore, my professor who was the first law student in history to ever argue before the Supreme Court of this country has tattoos. He is a loser as well. LOL! Your logic stuns me and I hope to find you waiting on me and my fellow classmates (who also have tattoos) soon, in whatever low class profession you choose. You judgmental prick.

@ DOOD I have tattoos and am not a social misfit, I am working towards being a nurse, and I currently have two jobs one is taking care of a quadrapalegic and the other is working with an autistic child. I make more than enough money to pay all my bills and not mooch off other people. I also do volunteer work with special needs children. So what do you do that makes you so much better than us with tattoos?
#62 - On 02/09/2010 at 2:09pm by Youadoreme69
I know a ton of people that got tattoo's when they turned 18. Tattoo's don't define your personality, they are basically an accessory like a piercing. DOOD is an idiot, and good luck getting a job to the law school guy, it's looking pretty bleak for people fresh out of law school right now. my moms friends daughter got her degree at Cornell and still hasn't found a job.
#66 - On 02/09/2010 at 2:32pm by pendulum2012
You sir, must feel like a complete ass after reading all these coments.
But let me add on..
I'm only 18, with 5 tattoos, guages and four piercings, and I dont plan to stop there. I have a well paying job, am going to college, and am moving out of my parents house next month into my own apartment. I haven't mooched off of anybody, including my parents, since I turned 16 and could get myself to a job. I've paid for my car, food, you name it, and I can still manage to take a group of four friends out to a nice dinner and pay for all of them, or pay a friends bar tab on their birthday, and other things like that whenever I feel like it. And, no, I'm not letting them mooch off of me, I just like to do nice things for my friends every once in a while. Because I can..
BESIDES THAT... tattoos are really expensive if you want good ones. Therefore, to say that people with tattoos don't make good money is pretty foolish. I've invested a lot of money into all of my tattoos because they mean a lot to me and they are all really amzing pieces of art. People pay around $100 and hour for their tattoos, and depending on the piece, and where its at, can spend an entire day at the shop or sometimes more.
I so hate to see people make such gross generalizations without knowing what they're talking about.
your an ass for thinking that. I think your the only low life minimum wage earning jerk here
#77 - On 02/09/2010 at 5:40pm by sum1savemeh
Your body is not supposed to be something to write/paint/whatever you feel like on. Grab a piece of paper and I don't know, write a poem.
That's permanent.
I am a registered nurse, unit manager, and I make GOBS of money. I have more income tax withheld than many people make in a year. Guess what-I have a tattoo. You, on the other hand, are an ignorant ass.
#29 not everyone w/ rats are how u explained them to be so stop stereotyping people I have a tattoo and I probably make more money than you grow up
well I hope you never need medical care. I am a nurse and have a tattoo. other nurses and doctors have them so we wouldn't want you to be taken care of by us loser misfits that will never do well for ourselves.
That's when you tattoo "Fuck You" all down his arm for free.
#31 - On 02/09/2010 at 11:25am by ccianciola92
How do you put "I'm a fucking douchebag, and I like little boys" into Chinese script?
#32 - On 02/09/2010 at 11:30am by IDigSmartLadies
Too many negative votes, comment buried. Show the comment.
you must be a real bitch. its not always the mans fault.
#33 - On 02/09/2010 at 11:33am by cooki3monst3r77
fuck him. I agree with giving him the free dick ink and them cutting out the rest!!!! you know you could get away with screwing up something on his tats before you dump him!!!!!!!
wow 29 you scream pussy with your statement. I have plenty of ink and just started doing I myself. A lot of people see it as an art and then there are ignorant people like you. I won't even bring up the fact that I'm a well educated college student. Rock on with your " in the box" thinking!!!! It really must suit the douche nozzle approach you take in life!!!!!!!!!!
I think you should take everyone's advice and give him another, ridiculous tattoo. :D
I guess I can't really complain about this guy, though; I dated a total douchebag for a month or so, just so he would beat the boss I was stuck on in a video game. XD
#49 - On 02/09/2010 at 12:47pm by RainbowPoof
You should make a list of how much the tattoos you gave him cost and then give it to him and tell him you want the money by friday
#55 - On 02/09/2010 at 1:27pm by Gummybears4life
tattoo him "i'm a bastard" on his forehead while he's sleeping
#58 - On 02/09/2010 at 1:46pm by Leveilleur
how many tattoos have you given him to keep him for 2 years? :O but he must love his tattoos...
#65 - On 02/09/2010 at 2:30pm by Batman4890
Well, now that you know, this is a prime opportunity to present him with a "past-due" invoice for absolutely all the work you've done for him. If you're feeling generous, give him a 10% "friends and family" discount, but I know I wouldn't...
#70 - On 02/09/2010 at 3:48pm by KarmaLanding
Oh, and "The_Dood"? The list of people I know personally who have tattoos includes: Five cops, a dozen EMTs, nine or ten firefighters, two lawyers, two doctors, more than a dozen soldiers, a couple dentists, one judge, and about fifteen IT professionals. All of whom, (except, sadly, possibly the soldiers), I guarantee, earn more than you do, you self-righteous twat.
#71 - On 02/09/2010 at 3:54pm by KarmaLanding
I say you should wait until he's sleeping, tattoo and/or draw a penis on his neck or face, and dump his ass the next morning. That'll teach that douche.
"Tattoo a penis/lame text/embarrassing tattoo on him" people, you're idiots. The OP would be sued for a massive amount.
haha^^ just read that fml.
but anywayy, dump his ass.
#86 - On 02/09/2010 at 7:42pm by samantha_durano
So?
The admission that he has spent two years on you solely for tattoos is either an attempt to hurt your feelings after a fight or him aiming for a way out.
Your relationship didn't work out. Welcome to reality.
Is the fact that you've experienced what anyone who dates has also experienced really justify an FML?
Grow up and deal, everyone leaving a relationship has to cut their losses - the fact that your losses included the time and money spent on tattoos seems largely irrelevent. If anything, you might as well take pride in the fact that your skills were apparently sufficient for him to spend two years conning you.
And for all those who advocate somehow charging him after the fact or giving him a tattoo he doesn't want, what the fuck? Juvenile much? She has no right to alter the original deal under which he received his tattoos, and she definitely doesn't have the right to disfigure him. Stop offering vindictive, bullshit advice that will only cause more grief.
today there was an fml with a guy who got liar put on by his tattoo artist gf before she broke up with him ... same couple ?
#93 - On 02/09/2010 at 9:01pm by SephoraSocialite
Pretend you still want to be with him and then give him a really shitty tattoo!
#95 - On 02/09/2010 at 9:23pm by lifeislife
I saw another FML, that said that his girlfriend tattooed "liar" on his back. that does't happen to be you, now would it?
#105 - On 02/10/2010 at 12:21am by theawesome
Wow... no clues or slip-ups that might have revealed his superficiality over those two years?
Overall, FYL based on the post.
#108 - On 02/10/2010 at 12:47am by justanotherhuman
I just read an fml that says the girl is also a tattoo artist and tattooed the word cheater on his back.... that wouldn't happen to be you?
#110 - On 02/10/2010 at 1:20am by blueflare21
Too broke to pay for his tattoos? I hope that doesn't mean he has also been living off you! If he is, dump him!
fuck, hope you dumped the douchebag...and used some of the suggestions on here :)
#115 - On 02/10/2010 at 3:13am by emmadotcom
ouch, i hope you did i nice body piece using all different fun adjectives and pictures you can use to describe him.
#119 - On 02/10/2010 at 12:31pm by kisseshugsdrugs
he's probably just fucking with you or pissed off from some fight you had, I doubt he means it. if he does, fuck him, tattoo a gay pride symbol on his ass while he's asleep.
well now, that's the greatest reason to be with someone.
#124 - On 02/11/2010 at 2:56am by xconvictcon
oh dear that's when you give your ex boyfriend a tattoo to remember you by lmfao ;D
#125 - On 02/11/2010 at 6:32am by omgxwtfxheather
You should tattoo a pic of Steve-o's face on his back.
#126 - On 02/11/2010 at 9:38am by WallyTheWombat
Ok I could go into a long drawn out story about how bad he is for this and come up with a really creative revenge. Yet I find that it would be so much more entertaining for you to just dump him and mail him invoices for all the tattooing you did. Ok so that sounds like a revenge plot but it is funny. But on a more personal note I am looking for a tattoo artist. If you think you can help me out let me know and I will give you the details and you just quote the price.
#129 - On 02/12/2010 at 2:38pm by undefinedpaladin
I think you should keep going out with him and then the next tattoo he wants I'd tattoo one of the teletubies on him and then write something that would embarrass him. The jerk deserves it!
