We got tattoos!

Cute idea. Although I have three, I wouldn't get one on my hand. (I teach, so it would cause a ruckus with kids aged 4 to 18.LOL)

I have two tattoos (with plans on eventually getting more) and my BF has two partial sleeves, and neither one of us has any desire to get tattoos symbolizing our relationship. Call us superstitious, but we're big believers in the tattoo jinx. I appreciate your sentiment, I'm just not a fan of your tattoos themselves. As someone pointed out earlier, it just doesn't look like quality work...I'm not sure if it's the script you used or the tattoo artist him/herself. But, to be honest, it really doesn't matter what we think...if you guys like them, that's all that matters. However, that being said, I do have to second what a lot of people are saying. You are being a bit oversensitive. I hate to tell you this, but you're asking for our opinions, and you're going to get them - good, bad, and horrible. If you don't like what we have to say, then don't pay attention to us. But calling us out for being "mean" is the equivalent of crying to mom because we stole your shovel at the playground sandbox. Take a deep breath and relax.

IMO, I think that as far as tattoos go.....they came out really well. I have some tats myself, so I do know about how the ink looks when they're still healing.I'm also glad that you didn't get names ;)And lastly, be sure to go back in about 6 months to get it touched up! Most shops do it for free if they did the original. You should ask!No snarking here

Oh my goodness, there is more snarkiness on this board than on the rest of theknot combinedWell, since you DD'd your post about trying on a bunch of wedding dresses before you're even engaged, I think you should go repost that on P&E and see what you get. The responses on this board will make us look like adorable, clawless kittens.

The responses on this board will make us look like adorable, clawless kittens. OMG, you're right!!! I was wondering where that post had gone...I hate to tell people this, but having a "negative" response does not = snarkiness. If you want to see true snarkiness, go to P&E or Snarky Brides. They rip people to shreds over there. We're pretty nice over here at NYE, unless a) we know you're a troll, b) you post something completely idiotic/ridiculous/asinine, or c) you start the snark for no reason.

oceana919 · August 2009

ps. We missed you Salt!!! Where have you been?

bextabish · August 2009

And, my original post was in a JOKING manner. I am engaged, I was simply saying that I went on a spontaneous dress trip and was excited about it. I'll go find the other people who someone actually wants to marry and tell them. They have the ability to be happy for other brides, instead of acting like this is their personal middle school clique. Have fun whining about your boyfriends, I'll go talk to the other fiancees.

They have the ability to be happy for other brides, instead of acting like this is their personal middle school clique. Have fun whining about your boyfriends, I'll go talk to the other fiancees. 1) If your post was a joke...why post it? 2) NYE posters to have the ability to be happy for other brides. If you don't believe me, check out all the congrats posts for noelle, ashleylacouer, ashleigh, etc. 3) Again, if you want to see snarkiness, go to P&E or SnarkyBrides. They make us (thanks for the term, Noelle) look like kittens. 4) Just because some of us posted negative opinions on his tattoos doesn't mean we're all snarky b****es. Case in point, check out our responses to his previous post:http://talk.theknot.com/boards/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=61593097&forumid=136and to rzeffiro's post:http://talk.theknot.com/boards/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=61589376&forumid=1365) You're the one storming off with your toys because we don't "play nice" according to your standards. That's middle school if I ever did see it.Now, see? That was snark.

salt78 · August 2009

[i]Have fun whining about your boyfriends, I'll go talk to the other fiancees.[/i] Oh yes PUHLEEEESE come over and talk to the other fiancees. Noelle and I would love to have you over there as well. Hi Oceana!!! Was working offsite last week. Missed you toooo.

oceana919 · August 2009

Aww, good to see you back, Salt...try and be nice over at P&E

salt78 · August 2009

[i]I'll go find the other people who someone actually wants to marry and tell them. They have the ability to be happy for other brides, instead of acting like this is their personal middle school clique. [/i] This my favorite statement all day so far. Gawd can you even believe that I found someone to marry me!? I feel sorry for the poor guy.

oceana919 · August 2009

Me too, Salt. I'm half tempted to run off and warn him of your snarkiness before he succumbs to a matrimonial fate.

noelle24 · August 2009

Hey Salt, I don't know about you, but I used hynopsis to force my FI to propose to me. If anyone used a love potion (#9), I'd love to trade secrets. The hypnosis is starting to wear off, and I think I'll need something stronger soon.

oceana919 · August 2009

Hypnosis...never would have thought of that. And here, I was getting tempted to try the Engagement Chicken recipe from Brides.com.

twinkie757 · August 2009

You could always throw a surprise wedding or engagement party like icequeen, that's a great way to trap a guy.

karenttrouble · August 2009

That is awsome! I just got a new tattoo two weeks ago at my bach party.

karenttrouble · August 2009

Also, regarding this thread: It's not a good idea to ask people what they think of your tattoo. It's also not good tattoo etiquette to tell people you don't like their tattoo. It's better to say nothing at all, but you asked for it. The people who are the meanest (and often rightfully and hilariously!) tend to be the engaged and married brides! I don't believe in the tattoo curse and my FI and I have matching tattoos.

chicka_bonita9 · August 2009

Jeana & Noelle have made my day lol...bextabish (or however u spell it) needs to take a deep breath & relax. Chill pills available for $free haha. U guys had me lmao here. I've been on P&E & u guys r so right they are sometimes so ridiculous lol...which is why i refuse to post over there until I have a ring on my finger.

But for now I let ppl like bexta--- entertain me with their cute hissy fits!

magsugar13 · August 2009

Actually, Salt, I have been on several others (as I am planning a wedding, after all). Sweety trying on dresses BEFORE you are engaged is not the same as planning a wedding. That is called dreaming.

oceana919 · August 2009

Good idea twinkie!::starts googling "ice rinks in Miami FL"::

Pirata13 · August 2009

noelle--I used Magic Potion number 9.75...working well, but I am trying to master the mix for #10. If you want the recipe for 9.75, holla!

oceana919 · August 2009

ps.Oh.My.Stars.I just saw Salt's new siggie picture. Holy mother, that is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO

duckie1905 · August 2009

Honestly, as a person with a number of tattoos, those are horrible. Decent artists wouldn't do such crappy work and would probably not place a tattoo in that location. Sorry, but you paid money for crap. Getting a tattoo like that is risky whether you are married, engaged, or not (and pretty stupid, I might add) but if you do break up (and based on your maturity level, you probably will) not only will you but stuck with the tattoo, but it isn't even a decent piece of work. Sorry, the truth hurts sometimes.

ffmaid · August 2009

You asked what we think and are pouting when not everyone said they love them. Instead you should have asked for tell me how great this is. Validation: hey if you love it and she loves it great for your. My honest thought: how ugly and trashy. Not ever creative or well done just trashy looking and you have not even gotten engaged to teh woman yet. Ugh just trashy looking and in a spot you will never be able to hide during interviews ect. It makes you and her look cheap.

ffmaid · August 2009

Also the his and hers is slightly creepy possesive

jeanacorina · August 2009

(and based on your maturity level, you probably will)I don't get this. I just don't see much immaturity here. From his other posts, he seems pretty level-headed, and like a considerate person, really.I don't think he expected to have his tattoo bashed by a bunch of women on a wedding forum. You think weddings, you think HAPPY PEOPLE.Experience teaches us that brides (and girls waiting for the proposal) are actually stressed out, bored at work, and totally comfortable saying things that most people wouldn't say to someone's face.Who says, to someone's face (maybe I'm missing something here and I should try this out) that their new tattoo (which, as I recall, is PERMANENT) sucks, doesn't look good, was a foolish decision, and that it looks like Sharpie?Who says that to somebody's face? I get it, it's the internet. But my point is this guy probably got defensive because he wasn't expecting the posts he got.I mean, ok, my friend got pregnant because she thought that when you stop using birth control you can't get pregnant for 3 months. She's a registered nurse. Did I tell her "Wow, you're an idiot and if I ever go to the emergency room I'm going to request that you NOT be my nurse. Your husband is now a nervous wreck because he's not ready to be a dad and neither of you know how birth control works so now you're bringing a child into the world BROKE, and then you think it's a good idea to insist that you HAVE to buy a house RIGHT NOW just because you're having a kid. I'll be surprised if you're not divorced in a year."I mean, sure I THINK that. And that's just the sort of post you'd see on the knot in response if my friend posted her situation here. But when you first come to this site, people think they're going to get in-person types of responses.Like, "Oh! What a surprise! Well, I guess you learned your lesson! Hardy Har Har. Congratulations on the baby and the house!"Not that I'd always want those responses (what good is that?), but it does catch some folks off guard to get the honest truth. This guy is new. I don't think he's immature. I think he got caught off guard.

noelle24 · August 2009

I mean, ok, my friend got pregnant because she thought that when you stop using birth control you can't get pregnant for 3 months. She's a registered nurse.How? How can people be this dumb? I'd expect this thought out of a 16 year old, but a woman with a medical degree? Sometimes, I think licenses to practice medicine should have to be renewed and retested over the years....

Goldlie11 · August 2009

I've had a few family members and friends tell me that they did not like my tattoo. I didn't get bent out of shape. I like it and that's what matters. I don't think that the OP should be upset that some people didn't like his and his gf's tattoos. Also, tattoos that are meant to show possession are quite controversial. So, he had to expect that.
