I think that at some point I will end up getting it very small on my wrist, it won't be noticeable to him at all really....

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

Your idea sounds good, maybe get it the size of small watch dial on you inner wrist or something

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.

this is just my opinion but i think it's too common for those in long term relationships to quit respecting each other as individuals.
even if i feel strongly against something, if my wife feels it is important to her, i'll get over it. she'll have my support.
i expect the same attitude from her.

i say if it's something you feel strongly about, do it for that reason, but not behind his back. get him involved in it as much as possible, maybe with input on placement or something.

i'm biased on this topic though as i have a few tats (recently including a sleeve on one of my arms) while my wife has none.

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.

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.

You do get one; he may find a way to rebel for his sacrifice

Talk it out, wait some time, give both of you proper time to mature on the subject...

You both need days and nights to sleep on it...

Note: no matter how insignificant, he does have to look at it on you...

Note: if he loves you for what counts, he knows it's a part of you, and he can learn to accept it as well as you...

and as for personal attack, I have just stated on the stupidity of your remark as of here and else where I have observed...it does not ever imply you are Stupid......pls stop misinterpreting as always...you had alleged me to be a Troll some time back in another thread without any thinking, which is an Outright personal attack...I was courteous enough to overlook it without making any retaliation like you do..Now, Peace ...

But nooooo... That helpless tattoo was taken too soon & forced to live in horrendous conditions.

Please consider giving generously to your local "Save the Tattoo" organization... Great ink is a terrible thing to waste.

BTW I don't think if someone claims to be christian you need to call them out. Religion is for one's own self not to be judged by others. And "stupidity of your remark" is rude. My observation was accurate as this is not a religious forum nor I feel was the OP looking to be challenged on that. Ok .... Peace

GE... Girl... The hubs buys & makes some pretty big life changing decisions w/o ya... I think you've earned this tattoo... play fair tho & give him a few choices on placement unless the wrist is important to ya.

You know I have to include this:

Sheldon: Why do you have the Chinese character for 'soup' tattooed on your right buttock?
Penny: It's not 'soup'; it's 'courage'.
Sheldon: No it isn't. But I suppose it does take courage to demonstrate that kind of commitment to soup.
Penny: How'd you see it? You said you wouldn't look.
Sheldon: Sorry. As I told you, the hero always peeks.
