Ok well my boyfriend and I just broke up after 4 years. 3 years ago I got his name tattooed on my shoulder. It says "Wilson para siempre" (which means forever in spanish, but I guess it should have said for 4 years lol) We have a little girl together and b/c of that I will always care about him so should I keep the tat there? But on the other hand, I'm afraid that if/when I get into another relationship, it will bother that person that another guys name is on my shoulder. What should i do??? Can something like that be easily covered? HELP!

Dear Lockesgirl,

Boy, aren't you upset you didn't listen to your Mom when she told you to NOT get that tattoo?

Okay, this is pretty simple if you have patience and a few dollars. This is the part they mean when they say you're paying for your mistake.
Find a dermatologist or plastic surgeon in your area who specializes in tattoo removal. Get Wilber off. Oh! I see, Wilson. *whatever* You can leave para siempre.

Next, find a reputable tattoo artist or studio and see if they already have a design of vines [they probably have very many of these]. They should be feminine in design and should cover anything left of what's his name, but complimenting "para siempre". Then have him or her strategically place a heart on the vine, signifying your daughter. Should you have more children, it would be nice to add their names to it. That's it. Problem solved.

Please don't think about leaving that name on your arm. It's common and downright trashy. You leave your kids things like wedding photos, wedding dress, their baby keepsakes, NOT your shoulder. That will be the first thing he sees when y'all get together and the last thing he'll see when he leaves.

I hope this helps.


Regards,

It's your decision alone and I bet you know that :) Personally, I'd feel a bit funny at first if the girl I was seeing had another guy's name tattooed on her body, but it wouldn't really effect my view of her in the long run.

Let a good tattoo'er look at yer shoulder and tell his opinion. If it's just text, a cover tattoo could be a good alternative to expensive laser treatment or surgery. I got a cover on a godawful homemade tattoo 10 years ago and it looks great.

GL to you :)

I would try and have the name covered up. Or if not, find a great tattoo artist that can do a wonderful cover up all together. If you have ever watched Miami Ink you can tell they do get cover up work. Plus, one thing my Pa always told me......."If you ever get a tattoo the only name you should have have permanently is your Dad!" I do have a tattoo with roses and it have my 5 kids names......but of course they will always be my kids. Good luck with the tattoo.

well, are u guys really and truly broken up? cuz u know when people are together for so long the break up and make up all the time..how long have u guys been broken up? maybe u should give it a little time. im not sure what u can cover it up with cuz they're words so i don't know..maybe u can ask a tatoo artist...they are pretty good with things like that..i have a tatoo of my boyfriends name too, on my bikini line..we've been 2gether for 6 years..but it's real little, so if worse comes to worse i'd just put some BS on it..but hopefully it doesn't come to that..Good Luck though!

I would try and cover it up with something that would go over it easily and that would be able to cover all of it up because you are right when you get into another relationship it will probably bother the other person b/c it would bother me if I was with a man who had another womans name tatooed on him.

Tattoo artists can do amazing jobs covering up old work. Have an idea and go into a parlor and talk to a guy. He should be able to come up with a way to cover it in a way you like.

Will you be bothered if you have a boyfriend and his ex-girlfriend name is tattoo on this shoulder. I believed you would. Consult the tattoo artist as they have alot of options. You can remove it or cover it up with a bigger tattoo.

I would get it covered. It depends on how big it is and all that as far as how easily it can be covered. It probably would bother your next mate. If you want to get a name tattooed on yourself, make it your child's name. She is the one you can be sure of to last forever.

get it covered ...

Someone should have told you to never get names on you unless they are your children.

Have a great artist design something so the name is there but unrecognizable maybe.

If you go out with a man who has a low self-confidence - then they will be offended - but if he is strong in himself & is there for you & your child - he will understand.

This could be a good way to make sure that this man is really there for you. Use it to your advantage

Isn't that the trouble with Tattoos, they are forever! Most of life situations are temporary. You could change the name of your baby to Wilson!

Yeah, If you can get rid of it I would. It's like advertising your mistakes!
