Today, I got my first tattoo. It was a surprise for my fiancé: our names together over a heart. I went home but before I could show him, he said we had to have a "talk." So now my ex's name is tattooed on my back. The kicker? Turns out I'm allergic to the ink. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got a tattoo with my boyfriend's name on it. As we're coworkers, I showed it to him thinking he’d love it. He told me he couldn’t continue the relationship anymore since he realized he wants to fix things with his wife. Three hours of pain and 2 years down the drain. FML
Today, I went to get a tattoo of my girlfriend's name to surprise her. Halfway through the tattooing, she called and broke up with me. 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, my tattoo artist boyfriend of five months gave me my first tattoo in celebration of my 18th birthday. It was supposed to be a heart with my name in script. He spelled my name wrong. FML
Today, I decided I was going to dump my needy girlfriend. I was about to break the news when she stopped me. She showed me her new tattoo she had gotten. Our names, surrounded by a love heart spread across her back. She reckons I should get a matching one. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 2 years took me to get a tattoo done with his name on. He paid for it. After it was done he told me it was over between us and he thought it'd be a nice reminder of him for me. 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, my fiancé freaked when he noticed the tattoo on my wrist, and demanded to know when I got it. It was two years before we even started dating. FML
Today, my girlfriend dumped me for the tattoo artist who gave us our matching "love" tattoos. FML
Today, I asked my boyfriend what he'd think of me getting his initials tattooed over my heart. "That's awesome, babe," he answered enthusiastically. "But could you get them on your ass instead?" FML

This is why you never tattoo a name on yourself. Try something symbolic, that way if this happens, it's just a tattoo and doesn't have to mean anything anymore

That's the reason why the only names you tattoo on yourself are your kids and dead family members

ask ANY artist – tattooing someone's name on you is the best way to break up with that person. if anything get the name in relief and put color around it so you can just get it filled in when you split.

Never, ever tattoo a girlfriend or boyfriend's name on your body. NEVER. No one told you this? Boyfriends and girlfriends come and go. Tattoos are (mostly) permanent.

if you're allergic then you need to get that removed. im allergic to tattoo ink (i dont have one my doctor told me) he also told me that if i did get one, being allergic, i would get blood poisoning and die. so you should get on that

That's why getting someone's name tattooed on you is a bad idea, especially without even telling the person about it first.

I have the perfect solution: change your middle name to the name of your ex. Problem solved. Just remember, this only works so many times before you start to have a really long name... Especially if you are a straight girl and not a gay guy, you really don't want to load up too much with opposite-sex middle names! :-p

i guess the general concensus is that it's a BAD idea to get a name of someone on you if you're in a relationship because things like this happen... hope you learn from this one though, tough break though btw on the ex thing :(
