How Do You Feel About Tattoos Of An Ex-Name On Your Significant Other?

This topic has been a very touchy topic since I have been coming up in Urban America where tattoos are so easily received from others at all ages. It is not surprising to see a fifteen year old kid with tattoos all across their bodies and not fully understanding what that can mean to their future. Tattoos are a great way to personalize your body with artwork from a professional tattoo artist. Tattoos give a person the opportunity to express themselves visually and personally. Tattoos can also be receive to others as negative flaws on a person body. For example, guys/girls leaving a relationship with tattoos of each other names tend to become hazardous  for potential significant others. Entering a new relationship can be challenging all together. The dating aspect, the unknowns, and the learning process can be demoralizing for some. Tattoos can ruin a relationship before they even start once a person notices an ex-name tattooed on a noticeable spot like the arms, chest, back, neck, legs, etc. Often people get in relationships accepting the tattoos of the ex-name then later start throwing small constant hints to get the tattooed covered up or removed. Pressure from close friends and family can also aid in the person with the tattoos to feel very uncomfortable. In these cases, how would the person with the tattoo receive this type of feedback from their significant other, close friends, and family. The person with the tattoo is now pressured to make a sound decision that he/she may not be comfortable making. Something in them tells them to simply keep the tattoo. This tattoo was a part of me before I met you. It shows my history and experience that I went through similar to a scar left on your body. Others feel that they should go and get the tattoo covered up to make the other person, close friends, and family happy because they believe it will start a healthier relationship. I can understand that this can be a tough and emotional decision for most. We all make mistakes throughout our life. It all comes down to how we deal with and accept the consequences. Relationships are built on trust and values of  each party in the relationship.
