Would this bother you?

If your DP or DH/W etc had a tattoo of their ex's name on their body? My friend has recently started seeing someone who has just that, she likes him very much however this might be a deal breaker for her (she mentioned it and he has no plans to get rid of it). AIBU to think that she's right, it's not nice to see someone else's name on their S/O (unless they were going to remove it)? I don't see how that couldn't bother someone (children's names /relatives are not included in this, ex's exclusively).

Yes, 100%. The main part that would bother me, was their lack of intention or interest in getting rid of it. I'd find that extremely concerning! If they're afraid of lazer removal, by all means just get a cover up tattoo instead!

For me, this would be a very big red flag which indicated 1.) Possibly still not over their ex. 2.) No consideration for my feelings, having to see their ex lovers name written across their body.

My DP did on his leg but it was when he was eighteen and superbly stupid. He had it covered up straight away when they split a year later... I wonder why more people don’t consider a cover up?

My tattooist has had seven exes names tattooed but all are now covered (seven though?! Clearly never learnt that lesson...)

Pity the next girl Zayn (former One Directioner) with the eyes of Gigi tattooed on his torso. A name is one thing but the ex's eyes ......... What can he turn the eyes into ? A Cyclops?
