How would you feel if your lover had a tattoo of a former lover?

i will feel uncomfortable about that even though my lover no longer feels nothing for that particular person. each time i catch sight of it, i can't help thinking of that person, which will definitely cause trouble to our relationship. certainly, i don't want us end up breaking up. so i will try to talk to him whether he can remove it in the interest of our love. if he really loves me and cares about me, i believe he'll do as i suggested.

I'd be just fine with it. But if he wants it to be removed, then it's even better! :D

That's the problem with having your lovers name as a tattoo, you'll never really know if you would really end up together. If my husband had a tattoo of his ex-lover it would feel really awkward every time I see it. And Yes I would ask him to remove it...

It would be weird, but I wouldn't go to the point of having it removed for me. I think that is just too petty. People have pasts, and we must learn to accept it, or else we won't enjoy the present we have with that person. If he offers to have it removed, then I wouldn't say no. But I won't fret about it.

If there is an option to erase to name,i would strongly suggest to my lover to have it removed. Of course i will let him know my reasons,and i hope he will understand about it. And if he loves me,it's enough for him to listen to my feelings. have a good day always

I really do hate tattoos. I can't stand them. If this happened though i would just have to deal with it as it is my partners past, we should never try to change that. I would hope however that if our love was stronger and we were together for a very long time then she would see that we are there to last and she would have the name of her former lover removed.

Tattoos are semi permanent and removing it entails a lot of tedious work and the pain is too much to bear. Since it happened before I know my lover, I would not force him to remove his tattoos but consider it as a decorative accessories which bear no meaning in his life anymore as I am presently the love of his life. Where it doesn't hurt me, I won't bother about it. It is his past life and what am interested is pursing the present life I share with him.

You can say I am mean, but I really don't like to see if my spouse keeps the tattoo from his former lover. Love is selfish, I should be the only one in his heart. So I don't want to see anything from his ex-girlfriend. Especially the tattoo which is made for her. I will not be happy to see it. It is better that my spouse to be understanding to it and modify or remove this tattoo. I love China

It actually wouldn't bother me. I know that tattoos are costly to remove or cover. To do something about it would be entirely his choice. I would just assume that he was a person who did not take the advice of all those that warn you not to tattoo the name of a lover on your body because tattoos are permanent and love isn't always so. I'm sure he "thought" she'd be with him forever when he went and had it done. Haven't we all looked at love like that at one time or another? It would not be a big deal for me.

hisender I never went with guys who sported tatoos so no danger of a former lovers tattoo showing up on my husband. I would have nixed any' relationship with a male tattoo wearer. so would have never come 'across that problem at all.+

Well, ya!!!! This is the reason why I think it isn't such a good idea to use names that are permanent. I have a neighbor who had a huge tattoo across both shoulder blades...it is a tribute to her father...but to me it is just plain ugly. Especially in her wedding dress. There is nothing more non-elegant that a tat showing under a wedding gown. I think that every time I saw my husband's tat with an ex lover;s name on it,,,,it would drive me crazy....yes, I would ask him to have it removed.

That would annoy me everytime I"ll see it. I don't know if I could ask him that to be removed,but I'll make him feel that I don't like it.

My boyfriend has a tattoo but not someone else's name. It's an astrological symbol of his birth. If it would have been a former lover's name, i wouldn't dare to ask him to remove it. I know (as what i heard) that it hurts much more upon removal than having the ink done. Though i am a jealous person but it is his past, so there's nothing i can do in there. I would probably just laugh it off and have my name inked next to his former lover's name. And I want my name to be inked more artistic and prettier.

i wouldnt ask them to remove it i would ask them to just change it. i would ask them to shape it to something else cause u cant do that now adays.. to form it into something else..

i likely would ask them either to have it removed or redone differently over top of it. depending on if its where everyone can see. my third husband had a girls name on his upper arm he dated in high school, but it didnt bother me as usually it was covered by sleeves, even in short sleeves. its just stupid and you try and tell young people its stupid but they dont listen

of course, i will be slighted. but i will not have it removed. that would be selfish and self-centered for me to do. every individual have things that they treasure and we dont need to deny them the pleasure.

Ok, I have something on the lighter side here... Never reveal to your current partner whom you had and affair with... Keep that a surprise for ever. When you have the tattoo done and are asked about it just say that it is someone whom you were having a crush or s/he is a local celebrity. That should keep things at bay. But I wonder -why to get yourself tattooed with someone whom you have already split up with? And if it was during the good old days, get rid of it now as you should move on and not stick to the past. Cheers, theSids.

I think I would most likely have it removed. Anyway I think that won't probably happen to me since I am usually turned off by women who have tattoos.

If my boyfriend has a tattoo with the name of his ex girlfriend, grrrr I want it to be remove, because he will always be reminded of his past. That makes me jealous, so I'd rather choose a guy with no tattoo.

i would ask him to get it removed. I"m the jealous type and it would hurt me a lot to see his ex'name all the time.
