Love, Death, Tattoos and Funerals: Tattoos are for life

Tattoos are for life

Today, my husband cried more at the funeral of his tattoo artist than he did at his grandmother's funeral. Seriously, at the artist's funeral, he was crying; at his grandmother's, he kept checking the time on his phone and yawning. What man did I marry? FML

Today, I found out the tattoo symbolising my marriage turned out to be more permanent than the marriage itself. FML

Today on my birthday, my wife thought it would be a good idea to get matching tattoos. Our tattoo artist happened to be her ex-boyfriend. I sat and listened to them talk about their relationship and how they should stay in touch. FML

Today, I called my boyfriend to have a shoulder to cry on because my grandpa died. As soon as I told him, he started crying and telling me how much he missed his grandmother, who died six years ago. I spent the majority of the phone call listening to him wail. FML

Today, I realized my husband and I have been fighting a lot lately, so to show him how much I care, I got a tattoo with his name on it. He hates it. FML

Today, I attended my mother's funeral. My husband came too, and during the service, I kept hearing him giggling. I wrote it off as the usual awkward nerves, until he started snorting too, and I caught sight of the iPhone under his jacket. He was reading this very site. FML

Today, a relative showed me a picture of her phone. I also saw a picture of her husband, a friend, sleeping. He looked like he was dead to the world. I asked, jokingly, "Why is there a picture of a dead guy on your phone?" Turns out it was her father, who is in the hospital, and dying any day now. FML

Today, my husband, who didn’t even cry when his father died, got angry and cried for an hour all because I put a 1 cm scratch on his classic car. FML

Today, my mom got drunk and started crying at my after-wedding party, after promising she'd behave herself. She thinks my husband is an awful person who'll drag me into a life of sin, all because he has a tattoo and an ear piercing. FML

I guess it just depends what kind of relationship he had with either of them

Maybe he just wasn’t as close with his grandmother and didn’t share as many happy memories as he did with his tattoo artist?

Maybe he wasn’t as close with his grandmother as he was with his tattoo artist since they may have shared more happy memories together?

The answer is simple: Granny probably gave shitty tattoos. Wouldn't be surprised if she tatted him with NO REGERTS or CHI-TONW.

My guess - the kind of man who was having an affair (emotionally, even if not physically) with his tattoo artist...

It's so telling of you as a person that you would jump here immediately rather than the more likely option; he was close friends with his tattoo artist. Losing close friends hurts.
