They should be set up!

It's not "new", it has been around for years now. And the word you're looking for is *weird.

Sorry I misspelled it 47. Damn. Yes I am aware it has been around for a while. I am a female of the 80's and I have two daughters. Thanks for being an ass though.

I know, it's shocking.

I wasn't being an Ass. I was being straightforward.

Wired sounds cool too.

Thanks 76 :) it was a typo and I didn't notice until it was too late.

agreed

55- Hmmmm.....not sure I 100% Completely agree with you, for once. ;) I mean, I would talk to my significant other before getting more tattoos personally, just to hear her opinion. But even if my wife got what was in my opinion, one weird ass tat, it wouldn't change how I loved her because it's not the body I grew to love more and more as our marriage continued over time, it's the wonderful, strong, caring person she is inside. (And it's a good thing too, as I imagine in a couple more decades, we both may get a little sagging and funny looking around the soft spots and such!) ;) Side note: Okay Gracehi, I freaking give up. I've been Staring at your meme for weeks now.....just wtf am I looking at? Please explain it to my poor, stupid brain. ;P

I agree with you, 82. Especially because OP isn't married to this girl, they're just boyfriend and girlfriend. Ultimately it's her body and she should decide what she wants to put on it. This in a place that very few people will see anyway, so it's no big deal. Now if she wanted to tattoo a pony on the side of her face... THAT might be a different story. :)

Actually, we don't disagree. Note that I said, "consult," not "obtain permission." And yes I agree that a spouse's opinion would have more weight than a mere boyfriend or girlfriend, however typically one considers their boyfriend or girlfriend a potential future husband or wife. And when I say, "loving that body," I mean physically. A mere mark on someone's body shouldn't affect how much you love someone, however if you abhor an image they've permanently inked into their flesh it may interfere with sexual intimacy, as it does in this particular case. BTW, that is a heat shrink of an environmental wire splice. It goes around the splice (a repair in a broken wire) to protect it from the corrosive and electrically disruptive effects of the environment, hence the meme, "**** the environment."

Well you could just go ahead and get the tattoo without consulting them, you just shouldn't then complain if they no longer feel comfortable going down there like they used to - or may end the relationship over it. You don't have to consult them, or even care about their opinion on it, you just have to be aware that people don't necessarily share your views on things and if you do something permanent and in your face it may end up having negative consequences.

Yes, but if you don't give a shit about whether or not your boyfriend or girlfriend will dump you, you'd probably be doing far worse things than getting unapproved tattoos, now wouldn't you?

If you read what I said properly you'd know I was agreeing with you. I was pointing out that while you don't need to consult with your partner before getting this done you can't then complain if there are negative consequences, so speaking to them first would be a better idea...

93- Ah, I understand what you mean now a little clearer, my bad. :) I did read consult but thought sought permission. Also, if my wife did get a tattoo of something unbelievablely obscene/offensive, it may interfere with the sexual intimacy, hard to say for sure unless it's done, perhaps. And thank you for explaining your pic. It had me so confused as, I read **** The Environment while looking at what i believed was a non-biodegradable phallus.....wasn't really sure if you meant literally. ;)

One up her and have her dad's face tattooed there. I mean hey, if you're gonna do it anyway you might as well go all the way...
