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

Oh man! You shouldn't have agreed to it in the first place! But what a asshole!

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

YDI for having ovaries. Err... I mean... YDI for getting a tattoo of any ones name

Man you only do that kind of thing until after your married a few years...

I'm not a lawyer, but this seems to meet the definition of criminal fraud, i.e. deception with the intent to damage someone. If you can get evidence that he told someone about this ahead of time, you can sue him for cost of removal and pain and suffering. Good luck.

Asshole much? You should have never got it done.

you must have done something evil to deserve that !

Here is a great example of why we can vote for both YDI and FYL... I have no need to say anything else other than I agree with the majority of the posters.

Totally agree with #13. Tattoos are permanent unless you have loads of money to get it lasered away (you don't burn the ink away, the laser only targets the protective layer of the ink which causes it to disolve and the ink to be naturally asorbed by the body)... Its the same for everything, don't tattoo someones name (children or someone lost are an exception), don't tattoo something you've just grown found off. Tattoos are personal (I'm talking about the general idea of tattoos, not the junky-I-look-good-with-tribals-guys), they should represent something major in your life. They work of art if done right and could mean so much, in its purest form its a way to gather energy and serve as a constant reminder of what you have to be happy for (mind you, tattoos started as part of a ritual of protection, energy and help in ones work).

This post is most definitely interesting in many regards. It is really a great debate subject, because; Argument A: Your boyfriend did something terrible. & Argument B: You made a terrible mistake. Now when you think of it, we really don’t know the age of this girl, so we have no idea how experienced she is with controlling her emotions for her significant other. We also have no idea as to whether or not this is her first serious relationship or not, which would explain a lot. Although we can assume she is in her late teens to be able to get a tattoo, unless she has ways around that age barrier and knows the artist personally. So we can't really judge her and say she made a "stupid" or "retarded" decision, because this could be her first "love" or she could have self-esteem issues and would resort to anything to feel wanted and a sense of belonging to her now ex-boyfriend. Also, like people under the spell of lust, this girl was most likely so infatuated; she probably made this decision in a weakened state. I wouldn't call what her and her ex had "Love", I would call it "L.O.V.E." (Lust Overcomplicated via Emotions). We also have no idea as to how long these two have dated. So maybe, if it was for a while, she probably thought she could seal their fate by accepting, what seemed to be, a very kind gesture on her ex-boyfriend's behalf. The gesture alone must have made her think she was adored by her ex. On the other hand, some people have brought up a really good question. What could she have done to make her boyfriend at the time think of something so diabolical? Because I'm sure that took some deep thought on his part to think of something so unforgiving in the first place. Maybe she did cheat on him, maybe she didn't, we'll never know. Or maybe they didn't even date for long, meaning her ex was just a terrible all together, or extremely hurt by something she did. Maybe someone her ex knows, put him up to it, regardless, it would still make him a terrible person to go through with it. One thing is for sure though, revenge wouldn't solve a thing, this girl who technically offered herself to become a victim of this evil plan, would just be sinking to his level, unless he already sank to hers considering she may have actually done something just as terrible to him and we just don't know it. But none the less, revenge only leads to more revenge, and that doesn't solve anything. My advice: They talk about this, she forgives him, he pays or helps pay for the removal of such tattoo, and they both part their own ways. If it were me, I would have made him get my name on him at the same time if I really wanted to go through with such an idea, it might have made him rethink his actions. At the same time though, I just don’t think permanent tattoos are a great idea. None permanent ones on the other hand would have been a great suggestion at the time. At least you know it wouldn’t have lasted forever. But seriously, whatever happened to the carving of initials in a tree? Anyway, I will not say this person deserved it, because without all the facts, I don't have the right to be honest. But I will say... if this does not get resolved accordingly and puts her through mental anguish as long as it bothers her and remains on her skin, then FHL. Hopefully though, she learned a valuable lesson from this experience.

stupid move, my dad wouldnt even get my moms name tattoo when he put me and my sisters on one, we'll always be his kids but other shit can change. and theyve been married 27 yrs
