NWR: if your husband had another woman tattooed on him...

He could add to it. Put their wedding date and their divorce date. LOL Just kidding.

Just get a dog and give her the same name?? Just kidding. I *think* this would bother me, but I've never actually dated anyone with a tattoo, so I don't really know how much you notice them. FH has a bunch of moles, after all, and I don't pay any attention to them. . . I agree with the ladies who say this is between you and your FH, and someone else's opinion of what you "should" do is totally irrelevant.

@Crystal S. thank you!

@DisneyNut LMBO that was hilarious!

@Barbara I literally just LOL'd!!!! I only have 3 tattoos, in different spots and people don't really notice mine. He has so many, who wants to take the time to look at all of those anyway lol

Personally I don't think anyone should ever have a name tattooed on them, therefore I would ask him to cover it.

I wouldn't make FH get it removed unless it WAS her face. I'd just have him get a cover-up tattoo.

I don't think I'd date someone who had an ex's name tattooed on them.

Hey, I respect everyone's opinions. I knew I would get different responses on here. Don't agree with them all but I was curious to know how everyone felt.

I would want it covered. Maybe I'm a little insecure, but I wouldn't want a reminder of his past loves on his body.

At the end of the day, people's decisions are there own. If DH had his ex's name on him, I dont think I would care. A tattoo is ink that can be covered or removed if necessary. It is.not the end.of.the world, and it isn't an indication that you still love the person. You dont even have to deal with that person anymore. It is better than having kids with an asshole and being forced to deal with that person for the rest of your lives. That's a whole different post. Lawd have mercy

Oh Chantel, if I had a choice I would have taken the tattoo for $500 Alex lol but yes that's a different post because I could be here all day. You're absolutely right though it is not the end of the world at all. Now if I wanted it removed and he was saying "no" that might be a different story but the fact that he said he would do it was peace enough for me I guess.

My baby had her ex's name tatted on her arm, and it was an issue for me, because it was HUGE... (ok not really but huge to me..... lol) ..... I made it known early on in our relationship that I didn't like it, and would not marry her it still there.... about 3 months before she proposed, I was gone for a weekend, and she went and had it covered, and said that she knew she was planning to propose, and she couldn't do it until it was covered....... which of course made me love her even more... :-)

Now, if it does not bother you, then I would leave it be..... but I encourage you to be honest with yourself and your fiance... if it does, you don't want to be bringing that up 3-4 years into the marriage.... IJS!

If it doesnt bother you then whatever! LOL

if you dont notice it much - i bet others wouldnt either.....

just another reason to never get names or pictures of anyone on your bod.....lol

I would want it covered. I wouldn't want the constant reminder.

I also would've hesitated to date someone with the bad judgment to tattoo someone else's name on their body, but that's just me lol

I personally would want it covered! But that’s just me.  If it does not bother you or him and it doesn’t begin to create issues in your marriage, then I would let it be.

My father in law has his ex's name tattoed with a heart and a bird lol this is from before he met my mother in law but they have now been married over 25 years. It has not affected their relationship but I feel awkward every time I see it. I would kindly ask to have it removed.

Tattoos are kind of deal breakers for me to begin with. So yeah this would be a problem! Sorry not sorry.

I have my ex husband on my stomach and I have been wanting to get it covered. My FH asked me to get it covered so now I am more diligent about getting it done. I would tell my FH to get his ex's name covered as well.

Thanks for the opinion ladies. It can stay, I'm not worried. Maybe 1 day we'll actually go to get it removed but it's not a big issue to me. I forget it's even there.

Funny story - as I was reading this topic, I was thinking, "Oh heck yes, he needs to get it removed ASAP!" Then I realized, oh wait, I have my ex's initials tattooed on my arm. My story is slightly different. My ex died before our wedding so I got a memorial tattoo (it's an angel with the initials along a banner). My FH knows about it, but he's never said anything. I don't plan on removing it, but if he asked me to, I would.
