How would you if your boyfriend wanted to get your name tattooed on his body with the date you started dating? You've been dating for 9 months and you have every intention of getting married someday. He's 22.
Would you be flattered and let him do it or would you be flattered and try to talk him out of it? If you're going to try to talk him out of it what would you tell him?
For guys would you let your gf do this? Or have you ever wanted or done this for someone?
Thanks for the answers.

Talk him out of it until you get married and then I would question it.

Hmmm, I would be flattered but try to talk him out of it. My boyfriend and I have been together almost 2 years and are definitely getting married, and I'm so in love with the guy. I thought about doing the whole name tattoo thing, but my reasoning for not doing it may be different than what you and your boyfriend believe. I say talk him out of it because it has only been 9 months. I mean, for some people 9 months is enough time to know that they're the one forever and ever no matter what. But to be on the safe side, I'd wait a LOT longer than 9 months to permanently put my lovers name on my body. Maybe tell him to wait till like, AFTER you're married, and know that you're going to stay married.

The main problem I see here is often people go to such extremes because they are trying to sell either themselves and/or the other in the relationship a bill of goods. A friend of mine's brother did the same thing with his then wife's name when he was in the Marines. I asked him at the time if that was wise, because it was well known they were having marriage problems. He said not to worry because nothing would ever separate the two of them. They were divorced within six months, and he had to go through the expensive, not to mention painful, process of having it covered over when he met the woman who is now his wife.
I am not saying the same is true of you and your boyfriend, but true love is based more on substance instead of emotional expression. If you know he loves you, and he knows you love him, then why does he have to put this on his body? Who is he trying to convince? Trust me, both you two, as well as everyone else you know, will be able to tell that the two of you genuinely love each other, without he having to put a billboard advertisement on his body.

A tattoo is forever and you are young. If it just the date thats not to bad, a name would be difficult to change or hide later and date would be also but a date is smaller and could be said to have alot of meanings. How about starting a tradition on that date instead.

9 months is a lil early and the date is a bit stalkerish. names is not a good thing. i wanted to tattoo my boyfriends name but figure using a picture or symbol to reflect the memories of him would be better. just remember if you break up he will have your name on his body. tell him to relax and chill out. tell him wait till we get married. that way you can buy sometime to really think about it.

Most people regret getting tattooed after the affair is over. Nothing lasts for ever.

Well 3 out of 5 couples divorce but it's really up to you. Make him prove somehow that you will always be together. If not, taking off tats aren't cheap. At least make him put the tat where everyone can see it to prove that he's not embarrassed of you.

Tattoos last longer than relationships. At your age, I guarantee that this is not the last relationship of your life.
