Would it turn you off or annoy you if your partner had a tattoo related to another person? I’m not talking about an ex but more like a family member. So the meaning of the tattoo is ok but for example say your partner had the name of someone who is the same sex as you, is that bothersome?

I'm the inked partner, and from what I can tell my tattoo does not cause any issues.

In fact, all three sisters have been inked in relation to someone else...

In what way is this tattoo bothersome? Sorry I'm just not getting it.

Is it like someone who scribbled their dead brothers name somewhere and now it irks you for some reason?

I've got tats. Doesn't bother my bf.

Maybe some people would find it awkward or distracting to see a reference to someone else on the body. I say maybe because I don’t know, hence the poll. I’ve never been in that situation myself.

A family member wouldn't be distressing, an ex would, or another female that is sexy would bother me. That would turn me off.

I agree.

I don't know, I think it would be just an indication that the person had a life before they met me. Everyone has a past.

I have tats relating to my son's and my daughter's.
My partner has no problem with this.
I also have tattoos paid for by my ex, this doesn't cause problems either.
My best friend is the opposite sex, if I planned e get a tat dedicated to him, I would exp that to be ok too.
If my fella got a glamour girl tat, that wouldn't bother me.
Or if he had one dedicated to his mother that wouldn't bother me either.

What sort of problems are you thinking of in relation to this, only I am struggling to understand what issues might arise.

Care to share what this tattoo is and whom it refers to ?

[Ray_808]

I'm grateful for the input and votes given so far.

I think that's how I feel as well.

For example if a man had a tattoo containing the name of a woman, would his partner find it distracting or troublesome? I would imagine if they didn't know the meaning of the ink it could be a problem until they understood it.

Myself and my two sisters all have tributes to our decreased father and brother, my sisters even have "tributes to me" (semi colon tattoos they got on my bday)...

None of our tattoos have caused any issues.

I agree with Murderface, although admittedly never imagined I would agree with someone named murder anything
Choose your battles wisely, don't create a problem where there is none.

Then there is deep feeling for a deceased loved one and you should really feel it's fine, I don't understand why it would be a problem

If it was a ex girl friend or a sexy random woman I would not like it, But if it one of there relatives lets say mother or father or children, No it would not bother me, If it was a spouse that passed away and they loved them and had children with them, It might bother me but that is being controlling and jealous on my part, That person is know longer alive, They are a memory and not a threat, I dont mean to sound harsh but you have to let it go

You are in there life now, Your in a relationship with this person now, Put the past in the past and live in the moment, They are with you and you are with them, Jealously sucks believe me and it will destroy relationships, I know I am a very jealous person and trying not to be, Its not good and it will just drive you nuts

Will glamour girl tats don't bother me. You know the stylised 50's girl.
Tats to a deceased, friend family members or even partner. Wouldn't bother me either.
Dated a guy with his girlfriend's name and the day she died tattooed on him.
Not an issue. Everyone of my tats mean something, and I would rather see something with meaning than a piece of commercial tat that meant nothing.(Not that there's anything wrong with that either, just personal preference.)
It's about respecting the rights of someone to do what they feel is right.
Tattoos can be incredibly personal and powerful reminders to some who get them. I would choose your battles.
Also tats do more than remind you of a person, they usually mark a time or landmark worth remembering for alot of people.

I actually get the OP here. I have 3 tattoos, and tattoos on my partner don't bother me, but a name is kind of weird to me. Even if it's a sibling or mom or dad. Because when we're intimate I have to see that all the time. I don't know why, it's just a gut feeling, but it would kind of weird me out. At the same time, it's not a deal breaker.

My fiance has tattoos for his dead grandma and his dead dad, both of which have the full name. It doesn't bother me at all.

That being said, it would probably bother me if it was an ex or some random female friend's name tattooed on his body.
