Boyfriend thinks I’m disgusting

On my 18th birthday I got a small wrist tattoo in memory of my dad who passed away when I was 11. My boyfriend came with me and he was fine with it

He absolutely hates tattoos and thinks they’re disgusting

For my birthday this year I really wanted to get a tattoo on my inner arm to cover up some old scars - I hardly ever wear t shirts in summer and I never feel comfortable in my own skin and tattoos bring me confidence and the cover up means so much to me and my mental health

Tonight my bf told me his sex drive would be impacted massively if I got another tattoo and he didn’t think he’d love me anymore.. he also said if I had a tattoo to begin with he wouldn’t have ever given me a chance and he wouldn’t have got with me..

I’m heartbroken. I love this man with everything I have, but getting this tattoo is going to give me so much confidence and happiness in myself.

What do I do? What am I supposed to do? I’ve never been able to put myself first and I can’t stand the idea of him thinking I’m disgusting.

What would you guys do? Any advice is welcome
