Tattoo Ruined My Relationship, What Now?
We must preface this piece with an addendum. Anyone who is in a controlling and unhealthy relationship with someone who does not “allow” them to express themselves in any shape or form, tattoos included, should not be in that relationship. With that out of the way, we can now look at scenarios where which there may be a reasonable cause for a romantic partner to get upset about a tattoo. These include the following:
A partner hid the fact that they had a potentially objectionable tattoo (i.e. an ex’s name, discriminatory symbol, et cetera) that was hidden on the body prior to the new relationship progressing to the point of full body disclosure (so to speak).
Partners had mutually agreed to communicate openly about major decisions together (including body modifications) but one proceeded to get a significant tattoo without first communicating it to their partner, breaking trust in the process.
A partner gets a new tattoo based on a subject that is a notable a point of contention between them and their companion. This may occur when there is a divide on religion or politics. An example of the latter, is if a “right” leaning person was to get a MAGA tattoo to the destain of their “left” leaning partner.
A partner gets a new tattoo depicting something that is universally offensive, vulgar, or violent to the point that the other partner finds them deeply troubling or incompatible with their values.
A partner gets a new tattoo in highly visible location that permanently alters their appearance such as the neck or face, which can cause anxiety for partners concerned about job prospects or social acceptance.
A partner gets a new tattoo, that simply chips away at their companion’s attraction to them, which can lead to reduced physical intimacy and eventually emotional disconnect.
