Tattoos can be removed. Pending the colour it would be easy and because of the size it would be cheap . It is a sweet gesture .
@jjmomma: Yeah, he has a ton of them. A half sleeve, a huge Buddha on his side, and both of his calves.
I heard they now have tatoos with ink that only shows in the black light. Maybe that?
I would have the same fears you do. I dont think people should tatoo husbands/wives anything on them.
awww...I kind of like that idea! (It wouldn't fly with me but...) it's still sweet!
Tell him that it is very sweet of him, but finger tattoos are notorious for becomming big inky bleeding blobs over time. Not in all cases, but the risk of a finger tattoo is that the ink can distort out into wierd patterns and shapes over the years.
Not sure why, but it has to do with the location. My friend got a beautiful celtic knot ring tattoo and the artist made damn sure before he did it she was ok with it not remaining crisp and clean looking over time. Hers has held up very well, but he initially didn't want to do it--and most importantly she was ok with the result not being exactly what she wanted if it did not work.
@justelope: You know, I've noticed this on a close friend's finger tat. I thought it was just the quality of work, but maybe not... that is a really good reason not to do it.
Let him! sounds like he likes tattoos and this is his own way of expressing your relationship. I think it's sweet.
As someone who has a finger tattoo which is seriously the bane of my existence, I would caution against it. (I'm a third of the way through laser removal, and there's still no guarantees it will ever be totally gone.)
Ink does not always play nicely on fingers. Sometimes it looks just fine. Sometimes, it bleeds (the color), looks blotchy, and fades to an ugly mush. My skin happened to be of the latter scenario.
Getting a tat on a finger is a total crapshoot. Even if it looks okay at first, it might look horrible in a few years. Case in point: my good friend and her husband got their wedding date in roman numerals tatted on their fingers. At first it looked amazing!! Now, it has faded on both of them and part of it pokes out from behind their rings and looks so bizarre. Like some weird, blotchy pen marks creeping out from underneath.
If he's going to do it, I would tell him to get a VERY thin line that will easily be covered up with a ring, even if it decides to fade and bleed everywhere.
I agree that it is a really sweet gesture, but I agree with PPs as tattoos on fingers and hands don't look good over time... more of a rough prison look haha. I mean it is ultimately up to him but I would definitely discuss it more.
My husband might get my name tattooed on his ring finger too. I think for us it is a great idea
I like the idea. He can never hide the fact that he is married like some men do that take it off. That also shows that he is committed and in it for the long haul.
I don't like finger tattoos, personally. So I would def try to talk my FI out of it.
I think if he has tattoos already that he understands their permanence and is willing to accept the responsibility for it.
I personally think it's a great idea. If it really bothers you I think you can give your opinion but it's still his body...
I would just show him this thread. Its a sweet idea, but doesn't work realisitically.
I have always liked this idea. I have thought about doing it, and I have no tattoos. Johnny Depp has it, and I think it looks really good. I have also seen others who have just done what looks like stones on thier finger in a row of 3 or so, so you get the idea of a ring.
For me, I wouldn't talk him out of it, but if you are concerned I would have an honest conversation with him about your reservations.
Ive mentioned this to my FH as an alternative option, I may be one of the few brides ever who is trying to talk her groom out of wearing a wedding ring. He's a framer, and his particular line of construction is very dangerous to wear a ring. He told me he'd hapilly get a ring tattoo (he's no stranger to ink) but he's insisting on wearing a ring anyhow. I have looked into the longevity of ring ink, and thr more I think about it, he's just not a great candidate , as h ehas rough calloused hands

Yikes! He still plans to wear his band that we purchased, but he is worried that it won't be comfortable or that he won't want to wear it certain places like the beach or the gym. I have no problems with him taking his ring off from time to time but he is pretty sold on just getting it tattooed to make life easier.
Is it bad that the thought of this terrifies me?!? I love this man with all of my heart. I honestly think that we will be together for the rest of our lives. However, things happen. People get divorced all the time. I am not trying to be a downer, but I want to be realistic.
Should I try to talk him out of this? Or should I just assume that since we plan on staying together forever there is no way he will end up regretting it?
