Yes I'd still love them. I'd need to be told about this before and I would most likely express my extreme disapproval. But in the end if I loved him before, I would still love him afterwards. Doesn't mean I have to love his choices.

That's the short version.

It's not about just the looks of it. It's also about making a decision that will cost him 99% of jobs in the future and any serious future career, meaning he doesn't care about me or his son or helping to take care of us

I would drive him to the tattoo shop. Outside looks mean nothing to me , I fell in love with Chris for who he is as a person , not what he looks like.

I mean seriously money is not EVER (seriously NEVER EVER ~I refuse to get bent out of shape over money) fought over at my house , Our outlook is , WE will make it work somehow no matter what. So the issue of he might not have a job is a moot point.

So even the honoring the relative would make me love him more as family is important.

I totally agree. And it's not about having a bunch of money, it is about taking care of your family and you NEED money for that. If my husband did that, I'm sure he wouldn't have a job, and well we have bills and house payments, that need to be paid. Sorry, but I (and our son) will not go homeless because he wanted a big black checkerboard on his face.

But I also feel like I totally knew my husband before I married him and I can say without a doubt that he would NEVER do that. If he wanted that tattoo, talking to me about it or just going out and getting it, then he wouldn't be the same person. If I married a guy that was totally into tattoos, then I'd probably be ok with it because I knew before I married him.

Instead of a bad how about some good cover up? lol

Its not that my love is unconditional, but for me as well, this is not something I would leave over.

Its easier to take than if someone has a horrific facial injury (though I wouldn't leave over that either)

I'm 100% ok with people expressing themselves and if my dear husband felt he needed a facial tattoo to feel complete I'm ok with that. You love the people you love because of who they are not what they look like. Fat, thin, tattooed, pierced, etc... love is love. I want a husband who is unafraid to pursue their happiness and would not slight me my happiness in return. I would rather be dirt poor and live a life of joy than conform to the standards of "normalcy" in relationships.

HAHA Josh absolutely HATES face tattoos so I know I'll never have to worry about that but if I did I have absolutely NO clue how I would handle it at this point

Fair enough, but if you have a family (children), and your husband is responsible for providing for them, and he did something that could jeopardize his ability to do that, how would you feel?

If my husband had a job that allowed him to do that, and we both felt stable enough after he did that, that's another story...if he knew that getting a tattoo like that could cost him his job or make it harder to find a future job, I wouldn't find it any different than him cursing out his boss or sabotaging an interview on purpose.

What?! :yikes: Being unemployed is not a moot point. You have 6 kids. Who would support your family then?

I'd have my husband committed because he's told me time and time again he would never ink his body and isn't a big fan of me doing it but would be open to the idea if I wanted to get ink. So, after he checked out of the mental hospital....well, I don't know.

provided that he could still remain gainfully employed, it wouldn't bother me.

No, i dont care what the reason is. I don't think that's shallow of me, either. A person with face tattoos is not what I am seeking in a mate. The kind of person who gets multiple piercings and tattoos at all is just not the type of person I am attracted to. If my already husband wanted to do something like that it would be the tattoo or me. Dead relative or no dead relative I think it looks stupid and is very bizarre. If he suddenly had the desire to do that to himself he would no longer be the person I thought I married and I wouldn't care for or be attracted to this "new" person so staying in the marriage just really wouldn't be an option.

That may sound harsh but why sit here and pretend i could deal with it when I know I never could. I guarantee he would say the same thing and I am okay with that. I don't plan or destroying my face so its a non-issue for either of us.

Not that it's ever going to be an issue in my world, but the kind of person who would get a tattoo like that is probably not the kind of person I'd be with in the first place...just not my type.

Maybe if this were the late 70s I'd agree with you. There are jobs for the tattooed that pay just like jobs for the non tattooed. I remember this one time when I worked for a major corporation the top performing guy had enough hardware in his face and skull to tune up my truck. No one cared what he looked like (although his pink muscle shirt was styling) just that he could do the **** job. I wish our checkerboard face friend all the happiness and success in the world just like the jig saw puzzle faced guy.

If I am willing to make the commitment to someone for the rest of my life then that means forever through hairbrained scheme, illness, crabby mornings, poverty, annoying family members, and yes, even facial tattoos so long as the same respect is granted back to me for all of the above in the pursuit of all I can hope dream and aspire to be.

I have no idea how I would react. I only have one condition to my love of Paul, no cheating. I feel that cheating makes a person scum and not worth my time, a face tattoo is gross but doesn't make a person into a useless piece of trash like cheating does.
