If you have a strong desire to get one, I'm sure your husband could see that it means alot to you. I mean you're talking about a small one on your wrist here, not the whole of your back.
If your husband wanted ten piercings in his face and you didn't want him to, woud you be upset if he went ahead? It's tricky because ultimately it is your body and your decision. Only you can weigh up how much you desire one against what your husbands concerns are.
LOL bad comparison because I think face piercings are HOT lol We'll put it this way, there are things that I want my H to do, or not do, that he does, or doesn't, do anyway....for example, stays out until 3:00 in the morning when he goes out with his friends, buys four-wheelers and dirt bikes (not too excited about being married to a vegetable if he gets in an accident) He is insistant that he will eventually get a motorcyle, see above reason why that bothers me. Got braces without telling me after I had said we couldn't afford it at the time...stuff like that...It just makes me feel like I am the one that always compromises what I want.

Just turned 29 Monday....it's something that I see on a lot of the Christians my age and younger in my area. And I'm not gonna lie, they are some of the most hardcore Christians that I have ever seen....I don't want to go into all my beliefs and ways of thinking because it's irrelevent to the topic...I mean according to the old school Christians, me being married to my husband is a sin as well....although I don't interpret the scripture they quote the same way...

The "Troubles" of Tattoo "Birds.."


Allergic reactions. Tattoo dyes — especially red, green, yellow and blue dyes — can cause allergic skin reactions, such as an itchy rash at the tattoo site. This can occur even years after you get the tattoo.
Skin infections. A skin infection — which might cause redness, swelling, pain and a pus-like drainage — is possible after tattooing.
Other skin problems. Sometimes bumps called granulomas form around tattoo ink. Tattooing can also lead to keloids — raised areas caused by an overgrowth of scar tissue.
Bloodborne diseases. If the equipment used to create your tattoo is contaminated with infected blood, you can contract various bloodborne diseases — including tetanus, hepatitis B and hepatitis C.
MRI complications. Rarely, tattoos or permanent makeup might cause swelling or burning in the affected areas during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams. In some cases, tattoo pigments can interfere with the quality of the image — such as when a person who has permanent eyeliner has an MRI of the eye.

So really, you have already made up your mind, you are simply looking for support, yes? I have none for you. Sounds selfish to me.

Have you ever made any kind of sacrifice or compromise for your spouse, rather than just doing what you want?

A woman has to be smokin hot with a perfect bod in order to make tattoos work. My STBXW got a tramp stamp above her butt a couple years back and it looks really hot because she has a hot bod.

Take that same tat and put it on Chubby Daisy from the tailer park and it don't look so good.

I want to hurl when I see these 400 pound welfare moms in Wal Mart festooned with tats up and down their enormous calves. They look like moving billboards.

It comes down to a cost vs. benefit ratio... It will benefit you but how much is it gonna cost? Is he gonna be mildly disappointed or super pizzed off? The one you have now must not bother him that much or does it?

To be fair though let's turn it arnd & ask abt his cost vs. benefit ratio. It will benefit him b/c he doesn't like tattoos but how much will that cost him? Are you gonna be mildly disappointed or super pizzed that he is preventing you?

I'm guessing you will both be somewhere in the middle so why not try to find a compromise? What is the root of his distaste? Maybe it's the stigma or location? Maybe you cld have it placed somewhere else?

I understand they arent for everyone & can respect their choice though i admit I'm probably a tad biased. I have a few tasteful & extremely meaningful tattoos that are discreetly placed. Mine are very important to me. I wld be deeply offended if I received disparaging remarks abt them especially from someone I love.

So qouting from the bible was not religious?

I have no problem if you would like to challenge any of my opinions or answers on the level. Don't make personal attacks it appears from your answer that you are calling me stupid.
