Am I wrong in feeling this way?

Hi everyone,

So I have a question which has really been bothering me for sometime now, and I just wanted to have the perspective of people that do not know me.
I have been with my current boyfriend for about a year and a half, and all has been great and its all getting really serious.....except for one thing. He has a chest size tattoo of an asian lady, who is completely naked, legs open, bossom out, yeah I dont know how else to expain it but all the lady bits are jus there..😑Just in my face.
When I met him, I knew he loved tatoos and he has loads of them but this one in particular just worries me a lot because I really dont know what to make of it. I wasnt even aware of it until after we started dating, obviously I spoke my mind about him and make it clear I just wasn't comfortable with it.
We have spoken about it and he has promised to have a consultation to see if it's possible to laser off after he realised I wasnt gonna back out. But he kept saying that to him it was nothing more but a piece of art. To me its more because even going on holiday is embarrassing. first time we went away, people were all over him taking pictures which he happily obliged. I dread what will happen when I tell my mates let alone family.

I know he loves me and he does go above and beyond for me. He did do this years ago when he was a teenager.

Am I justified in any way to feel like I do. I feel like this could be a deal breaker for us and I could honestly walk away because of this one thing if the consultant advises him not to bother coz of the size of it etc. Am I crazy/selfish in thinking so? Am I making a mountain out of an anthill?

P.s : Am actually from black ethnicity.

It Isn't just gross, it is deeply offensive.

He is showing the world what he thinks of women.
Wtf did he choose to have that done.

No way would I be seen in public with someone sporting that.
Neither would I want to have sex seeing it either.

It's revolting that he has that on display in public. I'm pretty open minded but wouldn't want my children seeing that.

I don't know why the OP mentioned her ethnicity, but I assumed it was to show that it wasn't the race of the tattoo girl that bothered her, in case anyone else made that assumption.

I can't believe that he walked about with it on display - I wouldn't bother with him, OP, he's proud of it still. Which means he still thinks in that derogatory way of women, which is disgusting.

It sounds gross. I would question the mindset of anyone ever thinking that's a good idea and I couldn't be with someone with that on their chest. For me it would be laser it off or get a damn good cover up or I'd be gone.
