ORIGINAL: Politesub53 A few questions if i may. How long have you known each other ? And are you sure it will last ? I say this as its easier to get a tattoo than have it removed. If its important enough to have a tattoo done then does it matter? Also it aint that hard to get it removed, costs about the same also By definition a mark of ownership is a deep commitment, so just like marriage it shouldnt be entered into lightly. The mark, if its a branding is a permanent reminder, of what went wrong/could have been ect ect. In that respect i think it matters very much. Even when you are sure things will last, there is no guarantee, so to me, its important to be as sure as possible you are getting it right. Laser surgery to remove a tattoo isnt that cheap here in the UK, I guess getting one done over the top may be an answer. I am just pointing out possible pit falls to the OP. Firstly, I am from the UK and my step brother is a tattoo artist, when I had a cover up he showed me many places that would remove it for the same cost, and yeah scars are what is left, but personally I wouldn't have laser removal anyways. So if someone is owned for a short period of time, say a year does that mean that the fact that it ended meant they were never owned? I see tattoos as reminders of important things in my life, if a relationship is important enough to inspire a tattoo it ending wont remove the impact it had on me or the lessons I learned. (I know what you are thinking, why did I have a cover up, it was a 'no regrets' tattoo meant to last five years which faded to a nasty gray colour and bled into the skin so it needed covering with what is essentially a larger version of the same idea) Throughout life we receive emotional scars, they may be good or bad but things in our mind that are constantly there and tattoos to me are simply a physical representation off that. So I think to get to the stage that you do want to permentantly mark your skin is a pretty special thing.
