Can I hide that I got matching tattoos with another guy from my boyfriend?

[doedealer]

my boyfriend knows the guy I got it with and I feel like it will eventually get out and people will know and it will get back to him. my tattoo is a queen chess piece on the back of my neck under my hair. the guy I got it with has the king chess piece and its on his back too. my boyfriend tends to lick and breathe on it heavily while we have sex and I think its so hot, but sometimes I feel bad because he doesn't know that I got it with another guy..

what do?

I've just read what you've wrote and even though you had them done together... so what?!?!

You were in a relationship with the lad, you are young, it seemed like a good idea... your current fella can't hold it against you. He may not like the idea of it BUT you're with him now not the other lad. Also if you tell him you split not long after having the tattoo it'll be more comforting in the sense that the tattoo meant nothing. People may think ''They have matching tats, they'll always have a connection...''... what a load of rubbish! Tattoos are scars, scars tell stories, memories, warnings, lessons. The story/lesson/warning in your case is you got a matching tat with a lad... but you 2 didn't match. The tattoo has lost it's meaning immediately! Your lesson, only ever do it if you've found your match/never do it again

Your warning, having matching tats can cause awkwardness in the future (as it has done now)

You were young, young people do thinks they regret... it's life!

I've been with girls who've got thier ex's NAMES tattooed on them... they mean nothing. If anything I pity them... they're stuck with a meaningless mark and because it's a name it looks stupid. Your lucky that it's just an image rather than his name lol

Tell your boyfriend IF he ever asks, don't lie, you've nothing to be ashamed of. There's no need to sit him down and tell him, 'break the news'... becaise it isn't even important

Don't worry :)

It depends why you got the matching tattoo with the other guy. If you got it because you and the other guy had a thing, or really have ever had sex, then it'll likely be a problem for the new guy. I'd be up-front so he doesn't feel like you lied or anything. If you and the other guy were just friends and never had sex and just thought it was a cool idea, then it won't be a problem at all.

we did have sex... hah. well I wanted the tattoo first and I just asked him if he wanted to get the king one he said yea so we just did and we obvs. aren't together anymore and it was almost immediatly after the tattoo.i didn't expect to stay with him or anything if it counts, I just wanted the tattoo and getting matching ones seemed fun at the time.. but now I'm kind of embarassed but I still LOVE my tattoo. I just don't want people to know that we got them together. he told me he wouldn't tell ppl

[sinful1620]

Yeah... I'd suggest never telling your current guy about your sexual history unless he asks, so just let it go. If he asks, just say it was your idea and the other guy liked it so he got a similar tattoo.

I would just tell him. People do stuff like that all the time, unfortunately tattoos are permanent, and although it may look great, it is a symbol of a past relationship for you. It's always best to be straight up honest about these things. If you know he is going to find out eventually its probably best to tell him right away. It's better to hear it from you than to think that you were trying to hide the truth from him. That may make him lose trust in you.

Don't tell him.

[doedealer]

ya I'm not but how can I keep it from him haaahaha or what should I say if he finds out?

[Cartiphilus]

I don't know of a guy yet who, while f***ing his girlfriend, hasn't seen every square inch of her naked body. I knew one of my girlfriend's naked body so well I could tell if she gained as little as five pounds. He's going to see the tat. You can count on it. If he asks, tell him it happened with someone that no longer matters to you. What matters is that you are with him and not the other half tat guy. You could also just tell him it was a stupid choice of a tat.
