That alone is more than enough reason to end it - you don't want that visual floating around in your head.

Seriously though, she probably has thought about this more than you and she has made her choice: she either isn't overly concerned what you think, or thinks that you'll come around. Either way, there isn't enough there to get you past the fact that this makes her less attractive to you.

Also, put me in the turned-off camp, though there are the occasional exceptions.

Your not being a dick, just wrong. if she had 0 tattoos then they'd be more compatible and by the sounds of things worth keeping.

On the flip side, if she was a member of CP who started a thread over how her boyfriend of six months had major issues with her tattoos I'm sure she'd get a lot of advice along the lines of "If he can't accept these things about you it's likely going to be a long-term compatibility problem and you should get rid of him" or some such stuff. That's the advice I would probably give.
If tattoos are really such a huge issue to you that you don't think you can get over it, you should just end it.

Your mom's favourite quote?
This says to me that she wants to be considered part of your family. This is complicated.

I think it's time to move on. Clearly she doesn't take your issues with tatoo's seriously. She will get another down the road and will expect you to suck it up and accept it. Not the kind of gal i'd want to be around.

I don't agree with that last statement. Generally the older a women gets the less attractive long hair looks on them. (IMHO)

I also don't think that all people who have tattoos continue to get more. I have two and have had them for quite some time.

Sounds like she might even be testing you a bit. Though tattoos are addictive. One often turns into many.

However if it's a massive turn off, there's not much you can do. People like what they like. Maybe a little superficial, but I'd actually say there's no reason to be hard on yourself. For some people it's one of those things. And that's coming from a guy who for the most part finds them sexy.

I guess for you, it's just time to ask the important questions. How serious is it? Would you marry this girl? If there isn't a lot that binds you right now and it's hard to see a future anyway, maybe it's time to move on.

If you are head over heels crazy for this girl though, maybe it's something you can accept.

It sounds like you might already know the answer.

I love creative tattoos on girls. Too bad my current girl doesn't have one. I am dissapoint.

My old gf had a Playboy tattoo just above her clit. Not the greatest tattoo... but you know what, not that bad either!

Can you find a woman between 18-35 these days who doesn't have a tattoo of some type?

I'm a huge fan of woman who have Tats as I do have only ONE myself but plan on getting another in the near future. Through I do have standards as too how much I prefer to see. Like having the whole body covered in Tats is kind of a turn off for me. (It maybe an exception if the gal is hot.. haha... :P)

I can probably deal with a couple here and there, I don't mind full or half sleeves as again I would like to get one.

What if your girlfriend was Rachel McAdams and she kept getting tattoos? or other things you don't like?

Personally, I think lots of tattoos are sexy. Like whole sleeves with full colour. Random little tattoos don't bother me, although most of them tend to be pretty cliché.

I dated a chick before though who tried to give herself a tattoo on her upper chest and it looked awful. I haven't seen her in years, but I hope she got it fixed by now.

We have talked about it for almost as long as we have been together and I was never shy about telling her that I really wished she wouldn't do it. She was always intent on doing it and we even came to joke about it.

I really think that she thought I would "let it go" as I have her other tattoos but like I said, this one is different.
Or maybe she thought you wouldn't try to control what she put on her body.

Have you thought about asking her to wear an abaya?

Don't get me wrong. You have the right to end the relationship if the tattoos are a dealbreaker for you but you don't have the right to exercise control over her body.
