Not comfortable with the area of the new tattoo idea

Jose187 · 03/09/2025 17:20

Hello, in short. My wife wants to get a new tattoo a little lower than the shoulder between her chest and shoulder. We usually go with a guy that we have done some of our tattoos. So she needs to almost show part of her breast.
And I'm not comfortable with that. She labeled me as an insecure and not trusting her. I have never looked for this type of help before but I want to know if I'm on the wrong here or my feelings should not be validated. I know is her body her choice. I'm just not comfortable with the guy and the area. I guess it wasn't that short of an explanation. Thank you for your

Unless it’s a third breast, with a little breast again hanging off it, and with a mouse tap dancing on it, then it’s pretty much guaranteed that the tattoo artist won’t give it a second glance. So, I don’t understand the ‘problem’ at all?

Just wait til she has a baby and a male doctor has to stitch her up after a tear!

You’re not comfortable with that? But the important question is whether SHE is. You come across as being possessive and controlling. You have no ownership over her body. I hope you realise that. I hope this attitude of yours doesn’t spill into other areas of your relationship.

Grow up and work on your insecurities.

This can’t be real . What response did you expect to get on a women’s forum? what made you post this here ?

I hope you didn't say this out loud to your wife! As you said - this is a you problem. Speak to a counsellor and work out where this comes from but don't ever make her feel uncomfortable about it ( and if you have said something apologise immediately and tell her you are getting help).

It’s not your breast, it’s hers.

OP, you're being ridiculous.
As you've gathered from the many posters before me, nobody in their right mind agrees with you. The 1950's have come and gone and ideas like yours should have stayed there.

I want to further add that you may want to examine your underlying insecurities.

There is no 'BUT' after saying 'it's her body and her choice'.
Yes, it is her body and her choice. There are no exceptions. You don't get to say pretty words and then wipe them off the table because you feel that you're the exception to the rule.

We will always encounter discomfort in our lives. The answer to discomfort is dealing with it, doing some soul searching on why we're feeling this discomfort, and managing it so we don't burden others with the task of regulating our emotions for us.
The answer is not controlling the behaviour of our loved ones and expecting them to fall in line so you never have to feel uncomfortable again.

Well he didn't come back.

tripleginandtonic · 04/09/2025 08:45

It's her body her choice. As simple as that.

Shelllendyouhertoothbrushtoo · 04/09/2025 09:03

He'll almost see part of her breast? Do you also forbid her from wearing swimwear in public? You're being controlling, stop it. They're just tits, he may have even seen some before.

HappiestSleeping · 04/09/2025 09:19

Man here. You are being ridiculous @Jose187

Whatever your issues are, they probably surface elsewhere too, so you need to get them under control.

Gladysknightjustwalkinmyshoes · 04/09/2025 22:10

Idiot 🙄 she's just another paying customer.

GammonAndEgg · 04/09/2025 22:14

Fuck all to do with you.

IridiumSky · 05/09/2025 02:20

Bloke here.

Mate: You’re being a complete dick. And be aware that acting like that is extremely unattractive to women. You’ll look like a bullying, controlling twat.

In fact this is so ridiculous I suspect the thread is a wind-up. 🙄

Sodthesystem · 05/09/2025 02:42

Ooh no...some side tit. Perish the thought.

Sorry op but I think this is a bit of an overreact. You do know male doctors have seen, gasp, our vaginas, right?

I think maybe you need to mellow out with this a bit or you'll scare her off.

Maddy70 · 05/09/2025 06:22

Omg. How Insecure and silly dies she never wear a bikini or go topless on the beach?
