How do I convince my wife tattoos are ok?

Some women (and men for that matter) will never like them. It's personal preference. But, it is your body...and your choice. Be prepared though...if you can do things to your body without her consent, so can she.

I dunno. I'm of the mind that says, "You knew this about me when you met me. I accept that you don't like them, but you knew I did when you met me so I think we need to compromise here." Maybe work it out so that you cut down the amount you want and you get her input on the image?

I say it's your body. She knew you wanted more. If you feel like you MUST convince her though, tell her they're only superficial and everyone has them nowaday

well tell her that it is good 4 your body

You don't. Just let her have her own opinions and you have yours, if she can't understand that you have your own opinions, she's not worth it.

I really recommend browsing www.bmezine.com and artists' sites to gather some great pictures of tattoos. Pick out the really good ones and show her. Also, make sure you go to a good artist and bring her with you to show them the portfolio. Some decent artists: www.hbomb.ca www.getmooretattoos.com

I had a problem kind of like this. I am a tattoo artist and wanted some of my art on me, but at the time my parents didn't want me getting any tattoos. well, 4 tattoos later, I am still working on more. They learned that it's my body and I will do what ever I want to do. Well you had tattoos before you got married, and she accepted you, if she really loves you, she'll accept you with more tattoos. Your kids , that's another problem you'll have to work out when they get older. But just tell her it's a way to express yourself. Some get piercings, others get tattoos. I am kind of biased because I design them, and see nothing wrong with them. Just talk to her and tell her that it's just something you want to do. I hope this has helped.

I would simply tell her that it shouldn't be a shock that you want more and that it is unnecessary for her to get upset. She should not have continued a relationship with you, much less married you, if she wanted to change you. If she is 100% against it and you are 100% for it, then tell her you are making the appointment and that you both will have to agree to disagree. A tattoo isn't a big deal. It's not like you are going to go get a vasectomy behind her back even though she wants more kids. It's selfish on her part to be so adamant about you not getting one. It doesn't affect her and has a one time cost, which you just save up for. It's like it's a motorcycle that you want and she says no to. I'm sure she doesn't want the kids to have any tattoos. I won't be signing off for any tattoos for my kid, but I continue to get tattoos and so does my husband. There are tons of things that we do that we don't want our kids to do. Where do you think the phrase, "Do as I say, not as I do," came from? Good luck on this one. Only you can know which battle is worth fighting for. I, for one, would not stop getting tattooed just because my spouse told me to. They mean too much to me to not fight for them.

Although asking for other's advice is good so that you get different perspectives, the bottom line is that YOU have to decide what the big picture is and what youre gonna do: if you get more, how will that affect your relationship and do you want to go down that road? is there any way you can meet your wife half way on something YOU dont like that she does? why doesnt she like them? is it a religious reason, does she think they're just tacky in general, does she feel they're unsafe, or just ugly? fortuneately the people in my life either dont care that i have tattoos, like the ones i have or know enough about me to keep there opinions to themselves! I have 7 - two on my chest, one on my right arm, two on my upper back and the biggest one is on my lower back that wraps from left to right hip. I say........explain to her that some tatts can be tacky, but depending on WHAT it is and WHERE its located, it can look pretty good! thats just my opinion! hope it helps!
