Tattoo or NOT ??šŸ˜¬ā€¼ļø

Eliana

I’ve been wanting to get a tattoo for awhile now but my boyfriend said that women having tattoos is unattractive. He’s even went to the point to get his family’s opinion. I told him he shouldn’t have done that because it was rude for everyone just to gang up on mešŸ’ÆThey weren’t disrespectful but it was the fact that he KNOWS they weren’t going to side with me so therefore in his head I won’t get it if there’s no one to support my reasoning and everyone will dislike how I look. If that makes sense. I love with my boyfriend & HIS FAMILY so it’s hard to just say ā€œfuck itā€ and do how I’d want with my body or life sometimes because I don’t just have him to ask but his family going down my backšŸ™„

I asked my mom last year when I went over and she said as long as I didn’t get it cheap and something that was ā€œwhateverā€, that it had to basically be worth it and cute. I told her of course it’ll be and she was fine with it. My brothers and sisters all have one but I’ve wanted one because I’m so into art and I’ve taken art classes for year, I’ve even won awards so it’s no surprise that I’d even want one.

I’ve wanted one years before I met my boyfriend but now that I’m an adult and ready to get one, he won’t take me or pay for it. He doesn’t have to pay for anything but he is our source of income. I stay at home and do all the house work so at the end of the week, he always gives me money to spend on myself , if it’s my nails, more art supplies, or a new outfit. So me getting a tattoo would add on to that list. But when I told him he said I’d have to get my own money and my own ride. Well once again, he’s the only one who drives, I don’t even have my permit yet because I haven’t made the time somehowšŸ™„ and even if I did , he probably wouldn’t let me borrow the car. I know a tattoo isn’t a life or death situation but I would never be so ā€œcontrollingā€ over a situation like this to himšŸ’ÆšŸ’Æ I just don’t get it.

Well awhile back we had gotten into an argument and I moved home for ab a month 1/2 and I played a joke on him ( he’d made me mad that day and I just wanted to be petty backšŸ’Æ yup childish, oh well lmao) I told him I was getting high, smoking a blunt and earlier that day that my parents took me to get my tattoo. <

Fast forward to now and he’s back to telling his family about all my business and what I consider doing with myself and that tattoos are bad and that I’ll be ugly if I get one. I’m so irritated and overwhelmed when he does things like this. But rn it’s about the tattoo. He agreed to me getting my ear pierced but not a tattoo with meaning? Can someone please give me their view point or some advice. Please no negativity✨
