Little background: me (25F) and him (29M) have been together for about five and a half years, living together for two years, we're generally doing great and we love eachother very much. So this isn't a huge issue, just something that came up yesterday and has been on my mind since.

I've been entertaining the thought of getting my first tattoo for a few years now. He knows I was. I never acted on it because I figured what if I regret it later?

But the desire to get this one specific tattoo done (nothing outrageous, just a religiously inspired line plus maybe a small symbol) hasn't gone away and recently I decided I want to actually visit a tattoo parlor and start setting things in motion.

I mentioned this to bf and he responded that he doesn't see the attraction of it. At all. I was a little taken aback and asked him if he'd dislike it if I got a tattoo. He basically said yes he would, but then he followed it up by saying if this is what I really want, I should go through with it anyway.

So - if I do go through with it, WIBTA?
