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 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, my boyfriend confessed to me that the only reason he's with me is because I'm a good tattoo artist and he's too broke to pay for his own tattoos. We've been together for two years. 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, my boyfriend of three days met up with me at the movie theater, sporting a crude tattoo of my face on his cheek, along with a love heart and the word "forever." Looks like I'm single again. 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 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 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, 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 gave me the painting he had been working on. It was a heart with wings, my name, and the date we started dating. We have been dating for almost a year and a half. He misspelled my name. FML

People need to learn not to tattoo their boyfriend/girlfriend's names on them.

**** your life for getting a tattoo of someones name on you. & **** his life for paying for a tattoo for someone he was going to dump. You're both dumb.

Obviously the guy was an asshole. Good riddance. It sucks to have the tattoo - now you know how permanent they are. Don't get mad; get even. Given his intentions talking to a lawyer and have him (the ex, not the lawyer) pay for removal would not be a bad idea. I don't think it'll fly but it's worth checking out.

Wow. My wife and I have been married over 11 years. After our 10th anniversary, I decided to get a tattoo to commemorate our time together. After all, 10 years is a big part of your life. We're still going strong, but IF we broke up, the tattoo would be a reminder of the good times we had for over 10 years. But even then I didn't get her name, I got her favorite animal...never EVER tattoo a name on you unless it's your own or your child's.

That guy is a jerk or isn't able to think consequences from another persons point of view, that's for sure, but it's ******* common sense that you don't get a name of your signifant one tattooed on your skin! Especially after only 2 years, what was the tattooist thinking?! Don't get me wrong, I love tattoos and have thought about the career of a tattooist myself, but I would never do a name tattoo - unless it's of the client's children, parents, someone close but decayed and for couples only if they've been together for 10 years or more, depending on age, even 10 years sounds too short. IMHO conscientious tattooist doesn't do name or face tattoos - only with VERY very very few exceptions depending on the person (also not offensive tattoos e.g. swastika's nazi version - no exceptions there). There's a limit to "customer is always right". Voted YDI. #323; Well said haha. #318; You're a douche.
