well hopefully it's just an idea and he hasn't already gone thru w/ the inking process...now its time to smooth things over by explainingwhat a thoughtless @$$ u were...yes, you have to grovel a little here. He'll be mad for a few days, then get overit. your best bet is to tell him that regardless of what is on his body you will love him anyway. you may not like his idea and there should be compromise in a relationship but you probably hurt his feelings and his pride so next time (i'm soo guilty of never doing this) think before yo speak and do it as nicely as possible...men aren't as tough as they act. =)

Shoreboy	Posted Jul 9th, 2009 at 10:30PM Tell them you had thought more about it and decided your first reaction was negative for whatever reason but that just because the tattoo might not suit YOU it only matters if it suits them... worth a shot anyway... Rated: +1Vote for this!
