Husband says he will leave if I get a tattoo

Hey everyone this is my first time posting here and I’m just looking for a bit of advice.

Me and my husband have been married for 10 years we have a 3 year old together. before we met I already had 3 tattoos on my wrists and ankle

Last night I told him I wanted another tattoo, which he went crazy at saying he would leave if I got another one. He said that they disgust him and that he wouldn’t be able to look at me if I got one.

The tattoo would be on my forearm and it will be roses, a stop clock and my daughters name and birth date.

I really really want the tattoo, but if I get it I risk my marriage. I don’t know what to do

Please help :)

My exH said the same to me. I'm now happily divorced and have a fabulous collection of tattoos that I love showing off!

Your body, your choice I would not let someone control me like that.

On a seperate note please do not get the tattoo you suggested. It’s so cheesy and in trend at the minute. I see them everywhere. Go for something more original?

The 1950s called, they'd like their viewpoints back.

I remember saying that to DH 20odd years ago, I’m still here and he has 3 tatoos on his shoulders. I don’t love them but so what?
We plan on visiting Japan and I took a bit of sadistic pleasure in telling him he won’t be able to bathe in a traditional Onsen, which he’s always wanted to do.
