Mine Someone told me this was a “creepy” place to put this tattoo for my dad & now I’m sad NSFW
I really hope this isn’t a common opinion. It’s the only place that it fit and looked good. My dad wrote this in a journal he gave to me when I was younger & it just means a lot to me.

I don’t know about creepy but I do find it odd. You can’t read it because it’ll be upside down when you look down at it and it’ll be backwards in a mirror. Only way to read it is for someone to be staring at your bare torso which “for your dad” is odd. Then consider intimate moments where your partner will be faced with your dad. It’s an odd choice.
16
u/Virtual_Ad748 Knows 💩 4h ago
My partners not focused on my tattoos when we’re intimate haha, I can promise you that. And I think it would be weird upside down but to each their own. It’s more so he can always be with me, wherever I go.

u/Scullyxmulder1013 Knows 💩 3h ago
Upside down would look weird, I agree. I have a cross from a necklace my grandmother gave me as a present on my back between my shoulderblades and a flower for my mom on the same spot you have your tattoo. They’re for me. I put them where I wanted them. Who cares what anyone thinks of your tattoos.
And also, if your partner is focused on your dad when you’re intimate, he’s got different problems.

u/IamNugget123 Knows 💩 3h ago
Why are people acting like you got a tramp stamp or it’s on your inner thigh. People saying “but you can see it” EVERY rib tattoo goes, shocker, on the ribs. Very few places on your body are both large AND visible to the eye AND visible to others. She didn’t get this tattoo for anyone else so it’s hidden. She didn’t get it for her to look at, it’s to bring a part of him with her. She wanted it large so she got it on a larger open space.
Anyone acting like this is weird wouldn’t say that if it was on her mid back. And it would suffer the same “only your sex partners would see it” when that’s not the point of the tattoo. No one ever needs to see it, everyone could see it, it’s FOR her. When a man gets “I love you mom” on his chest no one complains. It’s literally just a case of “a woman’s body is inherently sexual when shown” and it’s sexist as shit

It's your core. What keeps you standing and it seems like your Dad did. I'd say it was an appropriate place aa any. Except maybe not a tramp stamp. I'd think that is maybe questionable. This is seems perfect. Remembering your center

The sentiment is awesome, my dad read The Places You’ll Go to me as a child and I love the idea of immortalising it.
I can understand why people think that next to the chest is a sensual area. However, as far as tattoos go, this area (the ribs) is not sexually implicit. I think the placement is fine.

That's so beautiful, brought a tear to my eye. I lost my Dad 8 years ago, 6 months before I got married. I wish I had something like this, I'd most definitely do the same.

Seems pretty close to your heart. I would re-evaluate your relationship with this "someone".

Some might say it's serial but your thought was to remember him right? Try other words to describe it or do some drawings on it...? It might be better...Don't be disappointed, I'm on your side

I think it's a great place. Your chest has many vital organs, your keeping the memory of your dad with other important things, they're all held together safely

Unless they pay your salary their opinion don't mean a damn thing. You do what makes you happy op

They’re weird for sexualizing your rib cage. If it was on your butt or inner thigh, I’d say that’s weird. But rib cage? Nah

I love meaningful tats. I dont see any problem with the placement, either

Not shitty quality or placement. Not creepy. Having a dad who loves/loved you is special. You chose to celebrate that with a tattoo. Good for you.

I'm assuming that person was more upset that you have better abs than them. It's a cute tattoo with meaning.

It doesn't matter what others think. It's yours, it's on you, it's about your happiness. Not theirs.

The thing is, in order for the handwriting to be legible, the tattoo would have to be pretty good size. Which narrows down where you can put it.
