Her Husband Got A Tattoo Of Her Face On His Thigh Without Her Knowing And She’s Telling The Internet She Hates It
A 29-year-old woman who has been with her 29-year-old husband for 4 years (and married for 1 year) says that he did something kind of crazy while she was out of the country.
She’s visiting a friend of hers right now, and her husband messaged her a video of him with their cat.
In the video, he is kind of showing her something that’s on his thigh in a subtle way.
When she asked him what he was doing in the video, he told her he needed to video chat with her so he could show her what he was hinting at.
Well…it turns out that her husband got a tattoo of her face on his thigh, and she had absolutely no clue he was planning on doing this.
A week ago her husband had asked her to send her favorite photo of herself to him, so she did. She assumed that he was using it to plan something special for their anniversary or her birthday since both of those things were going to happening soon.
In reality, her husband had asked for that favorite photo of herself so he could use it to get that tattoo of her face on his thigh.
“I hated it and couldn’t hide it on my face,” she explained. “I kept asking if it was fake and if this was a prank.”
“But no, he insisted it was real, and it definitely looked real. The art itself wasn’t very good either.”

“He could tell I didn’t like it, and I was honest with him- that I didn’t like it, don’t usually like tattoos of people’s faces, and that I was in shock right now because this was so unexpected.”
She then confronted her husband about doing this without telling her, and he insisted he wanted the whole thing to be a surprise for her.
“He just said he loves me so much and wanted to put that love on his body,” she said.
“I told him that I felt like this was something we should have talked about since it’s MY face and that there were other ways he could have represented his love. And that I just didn’t understand how he went through with this without telling me.”
After she made it clear to her husband that she hated the tattoo, it basically crushed him. He was upset and confused, which in turn made her feel terrible because she noticed he was about to cry.
The tattoo her husband got is the only one that he has, and they previously have chatted about different ideas for tattoos for him to get, but her face never came up as one of the ideas.
She’s left feeling embarrassed that he did this, and she’s not sure how to handle things from here.
“He’s always been a bit impulsive but it’s never been ridiculous like this. I literally cannot imagine looking at my face on his leg forever,” she concluded.
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“Number one rule of a tattoo, Never get anything to do with your SO. Bad luck and it’s kinda tacky if you ask me.”
“To be fair, he never said he wanted it to be an acceptable surprise. I am the owner of a regretful tattoo as well.”
“A scantily clad pin-up girl looks great on the shoulder blade of a 21-year-old US Marine infantryman, but a bit out of place on a married 35-year-old father of 2 at the church pool party.”
“I am in the middle of getting mine removed completely. It’s a little painful, but it hurts the wallet more.”
“I would suggest having a conversation about getting it lightened to a point that it could be covered up.”
“Work with a tattoo artist to design a cover-up together that represents your relationship. It will need to heal completely before the laser treatments can start and it will take multiple treatments.”
“I like tattoos but I’ve never seen one of a person’s face that didn’t remind me of Chucky or his bride. Unfortunately, his tattoo is there to stay so I don’t know how you fix this.”
“Ugh tattoos of faces are already always terrible in the best of circumstances. Not smart, but his heart was in the right place, tough spot.”
“For now, focus on the positive. It was an expression of love, obviously, he really cares about you, etc. He knows how you feel about the work itself, no need to belabor that because that part can’t be changed.”
“And it can be fixed, either removal or cover-up, and it didn’t sound like it’s in a place that it going to be seen by the public very often, so it’s all manageable stuff.”
“Focus on the good, make a game plan to deal with the bad.”
“I used to be a tattooist and I did my very best to deter people from having names of SOs but some absolutely cannot be swayed.”
“One girl who was 18 got SEVEN identical tattoos over a period of 6 months of her boyfriend’s name on every visible spot.”
“Her boyfriend’s name was “Guy” so she didn’t see such a problem when they inevitably split up not long after.”
