I have a tattoo on my chest with a heart, roses and my wife's name in a banner. Tthe problem is that I am currently separated and probably getting divorced sometime next year because of a mandatory 1 year separation. I'm going to have to get something done with it...lasered off or have a new tattoo disguise it. At this point in time I'm not sure whether I can afford either. I don't plan on getting into another relationship anytime soon, let alone get them to bed but what about the off-chance that it does happen and I haven't done anything about the tattoo? Is this a turn-off for some women or would you hurry me into getting something done about it so you don't have to see her name every time my shirt is off? I know something will need to be done about it but would it be a deal breaker to some women that I haven't gotten rid of it yet? How would you react in the heat of the moment when you first see it? Should I say anything about it before hand?

I think you ought to have a line tattooed through it. And for good measure add a name or two under it also lined out.

Isn't there some saying about something being 'a permanent solution to a temporary problem'? Maybe tattoos with someone's name on them fits under that category.

Fifty years ago I had my (then) wife's name tattooed on my upper arm – then divorced her ten years later. In relationships since that time the tattoo has NEVER been an issue or even discussed except lightly or jokingly.

Perhaps I should have had it lined through and a new name added. However, had I followed that practice to its logical conclusion, I might have run short on arm (and might not have made a good impression on critical folks).

It depends on what your chest looks like.


Seriously, it shouldn't be an issue while dating. If you ever remarry then the subject of getting it removed or covered probably would come up.

It wouldn't bother me at all, but some women are touchy about tattoos.

Heh, my son just got his second piece of ink, and it sounds like the same tattoo - he was thinking though, and had "Mom" written on the ribbon. That's my boy!

While on the surface that seems to make sense, seems that would send the message that he is not in the relationship for the long haul.

A clear reason to not get a tattoo.

Should not cause any serious problems if the other person is open minded and not judgemental. Hard part is finding those type of people. Just my humble opinion, and I do not have any ink, but I do not have any issues about ink either.

+10000000. I know of a lot of people who regret about their tattoos and have to have them removed (or burned off) by a plastic surgeon, which by the way is a painful procedure and not to mention, very costly.
