I think I would sit down and have a conversation with him. I would let him know about my concerns and ask him where he is coming from. I would let him know that it is his decision but that you needed to voice your various concerns. Be open minded, ask him for the same. See what comes of that conversation.

In the mean time I would think about what you are worried about. Is it his health, will you not find him attractive? Decide what you can live with and be very honest with yourself. Remember to pick your battles. If this isn't that big of a deal to you and you are comfortable after his explanations, then let it go. Also get out all of your concerns in one shot. Wouldn't be cool to be okay with it and then later decide to have a fit about it.

Hubby and I have been together for over 30 years. He only asked me for one thing after all these years. To not get my nose pierced. He didn't demand or tell me what to do. He just said he didn't like it, but would support my decision. I didn't do it. Because he never had voiced any dislike about anything else, I gave him that one.

Is that even possible without damaging his sight?

Answer 3

Does he like being an outcast? Because whether he likes it or not, there is a good possibility that is what is going to happen. I am all for decorating one's body they way one wants, but they need to do so being totally aware of the ramifications of any permanent alterations. Blacking his eyes out severely limits his future job prospects. People will find it difficult to look at him.

I would suggest before making such a permanent commitment that he get the whole eye contacts and see if he likes it and likes other people's reaction to it. Here is a link to site that he can get them.

Long term bf wants his eyeballs blacked out. He is a tattooist and has visible tattoos already i.e throat and hands. I'm not keen on the idea at all as he has brown eyes so it will look something like this guy:http://imgur.com/gallery/1dgy3TS

His take is it's his body he will do with it what he pleases and if I don't like it then I shouldn't stick around basically.

I completely agree with him, it's his body I will not stop him from doing it however I just don't want him to do it!

Should I just go along with it? Or should I say something?

I've told him I would be upset if he did to do.

Any advice please?

I think tattoos are awesome when they're done right, but there's nothing worse than seeing bad tattoos.

I kinda feel the same way about your boyfriend's idea of getting his eyeball tattooed. In a way, it would kinda look cool in the right setting... Like if he was playing a character in a film, or going to a fancy dress party - but honestly when I think about seeing someone walking around like that in every day scenarios like picking up groceries or dropping the kids off at school, it just seems weird and a little bit ridiculous.

But, maybe he's attracted to it because it's quite extreme. I get that. Could he can get his extreme thrills doing something else though? Like bungee jumping or something? I'd do my best to talk him out of it if I were you.
