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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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
Today, my wife knows tattoos are a huge turnoff for me. She decided the best way to change my mind about them would be to get one. Across her neck. Of our dog's name. 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, I found out the tattoo symbolising my marriage turned out to be more permanent than the marriage itself. 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, 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 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 found out that my wife is leaving me for a tattoo artist. I was in rehab and she met him getting a tattoo as a surprise for me. FML

No it's a terrible idea. Couldn't op have at least just asked him what he would think about that before she went and did it.

Maybe he took it the wrong way. Some people get tatoos with their dead loved ones names.
Angel_Cacey 7
she probably spelled his name wrong

Especially since the relationship was clearly rocky at that time, why would you risk that?
commonlogicz42 6
Smart people make smart decisions. But really, getting a tattoo should have a waiting period like getting a firearm does.

Now who else was thinking.. Bad Luck Brian?

"I knew I shouldnt go and get another tattoo, of you on my arm but what do i go and do? Now I got another one now I got two. Ohohohoooo. Now I'm sitting here, with your name on my skin, I can't believe I went and did this stupid shit again. My next gf now her names gotta be Kim. Shiiiiiiiiit" eminem, puke

Under his name add the words "is an asshole".

1 - I wouldn't say never. Two tattoo artists, madly in love, decide to give each other the gift of their trade while incorporating their names into a beautiful work of art. That just sounds sweet... kinda creepy how I put it maybe.. but sweet.

Why would this be *any* person's first resort for solving a dispute? "Hey, my man's mad -- better get a tattoo of his name!" Maybe you could have tried, I dunno, TALKING TO HIM?!? Christ in a landslide. AAAAAH.

I'd like it if my wife did that.

People in relationships need reciprocation from their partners, not gestures of eternal affection written on flesh. A tattoo was well meaning but hollow, OP.
SAgirl 23
Because sadly that's how trailer trash thinks.
cheshireau 26
Why would you do that? Married or not, it's not a good Idea, ever.

I smell a crazy ex stalker in the making here guys

He'll even make a ******* sandwich small stuff like that is what wins over a husband >.>

Hell* whoever programmed autocorrect can suck a dock

Some guys just aren't into that stuff. Hopefully you can get it removed soon

3: Agreed. Never seen anyone with a tattoo that wouldn't have looked better without.
ajnorma 16
I've seen loads of people that look fantastic with beautiful tasteful tattoos.
MrThew 0
ALL guys*
ajnorma 16
Yes because all those guys covered in tattoos or tattoo for a living just aren't that into tattoos. You're like a girl that thinks all guys are the same.

39 - My boyfriend thinks my tattoos are sexy.
doctorhook86 25
31: I believe you have. My point is just that I personally find tattoos distracting (at best) and that no matter how good the tattoo is, I find the person more attractive without it
ajnorma 16
58 I just found the way you put your opinion to be disrespectful.
xcarxcrashx 9
Really 66, disrespectful? Get over it.
IOmnomHard 10
Well I don't mean to quote Star Wars on you all, but in the words of Chancellor Palpatine.... ”Good is a point of view.” And, 66, this is a place to voice opinions. If a comment on a website gets your panties in a wad, that's really just too bad. Disrespectful is a point of view. ;)

And it's my opinion to agree with the badasd star wars quotator over here! (yes I made that word up) -may the force be with you oby one conobi

My oh my. Obi Wan Kenobi. SHEESH. And you call yourself a Star Wars fan.... :input disapproving stare:

Rather than sort out your problems, you permanently stamped his name on you? YDI op.

Good luck explaining that one to your second (or third) husband.
Osito2011 9
That is the dumbest idea I have ever heard!!!
kishuu_fml 1
Especially if the hubby files for divorce after this stunt
JOcoco 14
52 - that seems rather extreme when she can just get it removed
CptZoe 10
All the people saying she should get it removed, do you have any idea how expensive and painful it is to get it removed?!! Not as easy as it sounds!
damnu 3
She can get it covered. Cheaper, and more beautiful on the skin. There's alaways scars after the removal. A cover tat is better

Who gets a tattoo of someone's name without talking to them first?

I didn't know getting a tattoo could help in a fight

Go Habs!

Because nothing says "I love you" like injecting yourself with ink multiple times.
KiddNYC1O 22
Yeahhh, don't do that...
COOL__Coal 12
A little late, she already has.

So to speak, if you will.
fleur_de_fevrier_fml 23
I agree with 2. A romantic night or thoughtful gift would have been smarter.
DocBastard 40
You don't even know your husband well enough to know that he hates tattoos? Sounds like your marital problems run deeper than just tattoos.
habibiiiiiii 2
I agree. She should have told her husband about the tattoo before she got It permanently on her body.
soulebelius 17
He probably just hates HER tattoo.
awkward_gothlady 32
My thoughts exactly.
PlaidPanda 9
My husband and I both have tattoos, but we both agree it's a stupid idea to get each others name.
simonsaysYDI 8
He might not hate tattoos. He might LOVE good ones. But a lot of people get name tattoos in some generic fancy font, they're plain and took no thought to create, and if that's the case it's no surprise he wouldn't like it.
OceanBlueSea 12
Agreed Doc
