My boyfriend just recently, got a tattoo of my name on his chest! Its pretty big too, it would be hard to cover up. What does everyone think of this? He loves me very much (obviously) and we are also having a kid together, and getting married in a couple months. He says that I will always mean something to him... and I will ALWAYS be the mother of his child. Anyone else have a similar situation? Im not too sure what to think of this whole thing!?

Thats a really big commitment and quite shocking. It will probably take a little getting used to but hes making a really good point. He loves you.

Wow, that is just crazy. I would never do this personally. I think it's much classier to get matching tattoos. That way if you break up you still have a nice tattoo that no one will really know the meaning behind unless they ask. No one can tell you what to think but I would be a little freaked out. My sister has a two kids, each by a different father. She planned to be with each forever. Things don't always work out. Just because you'll always be the mother doesn't mean he'll always feel the same about you. You guys should sit down and have a serious talk about this.

You are marrying someone that is considering the possibility of a breakup? "you'll always be the mother of my child". Lame. And people are confused by the almost 50% divorce rate. I had a boyfriend that got my name tattooed on his arm a month after we started dating. We considered getting married after a couple more months and looking back I think a lot of it had to do with that tattoo. I thought it added some sort of perm. to our relationship. Nope...glad I avoided that one. I'd hate to be the new girlfriend that had to look at some other chicks name every time we got freaky. Haha

Just go with it for a bit. He has done a full-on thing there but don't feel that you should somehow reciprocate. Some people would say that you are lucky that he did a huge gesture, some would feel sorry for you. Relax. Take the situation on its merits and trust your instincts.
Personally, I would never tattoo a g/fs name on my body - but that is me, not your b/f. Enjoy the glory of love and ignore the tattoo. When the lights are off or when he is wearing a suit no-one will know but you. Once more, relax.

I hope your boyfriend is happy with the tattoo. It should always serve as a reminder of his feelings and devotion to you and your unborn child. I hope your relationship is as permanent as the ink, and grows into a beautiful life. I have to smile remembering a character I once knew. He had a tattoo on his arm of his former wife's nickname which was "Skinny." I mean this kindly, but he was anything But! His big stomach, bless him, came around the corner before he did, if you get the picture!

wow, he should have asked you first. There's nothing he can do at the current moment, and yes you will always be the mother of his child. I supposed if you two break up and he doesnt want it any more he can get it covered with a different tattoo.
lazer surgury costs a lot, but now days tattoo shops can cover up basically almost any tattoo with a different tattoo.

It is always a bad idea to put someone's name permanently on your person, unless it's your Mom's name or your child's name. My husband just got his first tattoo, and wanted to put my name in it somewhere, and I told him NO! He got a cross with his Niece's name in it, which is ok. I had a tattoo on my calf with my ex-husbands name in it, and had it covered up, which isn't all that easy. The only thing that covers up a tattoo is black, which isn't very attrctive at all. Hopefully you all will be together forever, and it won't matter!! Good luck!

Name of your better-half isn't a good idea for a tattoo because the relationship might not last like one plans. Although, the name of your child is very acceptable or maybe just their initials.
