Its about give and take though. What if you met a beautiful lass then a few months down the line she got fat, shaved her hair, never washed got tattoos all over and started supporting Sunderland. Would you still stay with someone like that? Don't think I could but maybe I'm shallow.

drop-kick works best
Perhaps she was thinking the reverse to your thoughts, in that she thought if you really like her you wouldn't allow a tattoo to affect your relationship.
It's not just a one-way street with these things. Picture it this way, if you *really* wanted to have a tattoo done and your girlfriend expressed she didn't want you to, but you already knew you definitely wanted it and had already made up your mind, thinking your girlfriend wouldn't know you better than you do regarding what you want on your skin in 10 years time, would you still do it? I reckon most blokes would, however generally speaking, girls tend to be wittier than boys by using mind games to get what they want. Doesn't work as much the other way round imo.
But I'm merely speculating so I won't tell you how to handle your relationship

Funny this should come upbecause I may be in a similar position in a few months time.
My gf already has two tats. Personally I think they look rubbish.
A tattoo on a girl is like a bumper sticker on a Ferrari, the more there are, the worse it looks, IMO of course.
That being said, I have no control over my gf's body whatsoever. However, all I can do is watch what she does and decide whether to stay with her or not. But like many other people have said already, a celtic badge sounds like an awful tat which makes her sound ignorant and tasteless. You've been with her only 4 months? If you're not happy with the relationship, end it now.

yeh some people are still alone and bitter here!!!!
itsup to you tbh some people have a threshold its only 4mths only you will know how serious it is .... again as asked before i she had it before would you still go out with her if yes then go on.....
In regards to this thread, but not actually referring to a tattoo. Similar results though.
After being with my wife for 10 years (married 2) she suddenly decided she wanted a motorbike. I've never objected to any of her decisions, one of which included a tattoo many years ago, but a motorbike was too much for me. We have 2 young children and I think it would be a bit irresponsible.
A few years ago I'd have looked into the dangers of biking and gave her my thoughts, but not now.
I work in the radiography department of a University. My work has lead me to visits to the local hospital to observe and discuss medical imaging equipment. Due to the timing of these visits I mentioned motorbikes to both my employer and staff at the hospital. These are some of the responses I get
- Doctors refer to Motorbike riders as Organ Donors.
- Two types of bikes. Those that have crashed, those that will.
- Those close scrapes you have in a car don't exist in the biking world.
- I'd never let my wife ride a bike, after my best mate lost his life to a bike.
Turns out 2 of my work colleagues have lost friends to motorbikes in the worst possible accidents. Really grusome stuff.
Anyway so she wanted a bike. Well I suggested she don't due to the above and lots more I'm not going to type. To this day some 4 months on we still don't have the relationship we once had. Sad as it seems after 10 years of give and take she will not let this one go. Sure we are generally happy, but boy does this dark cloud hang over us these days.
After giving my pros and cons I finally said finally said get a bike if it's that important. I was disappointed that it dragged on for so long. She says she's still thinking about it, but she's already gone ahead and purchased the equipment needed. We tend not to talk about much, but she sneakily booked her riding test.
I've learned that you can't stop anyone doing something they want to do. Be it tattoos or biking.
Dammit she never mentioned bikes in the first 10 years

Normally I say it her and body and she can do what ever she likes, but seeing how its football tattoo in a very exposed place I think I can understand why the op is upset.
I don’t think a lot of posters in this tread understand that people get beat up (or worse) for wearing football colour’s in Glasgow and if this trouble happens when he is with his girlfriend its more than likely he will get the **** kicked out of him as well.
Also, a celtic tattoo, that is just really really REALLY tacky.

OMG.
if my girlfirned turned around and said i dont like your new tattoo why did you do it!, cya your gone - no questions asked.
its her body its a tattoo, no big deal, you'd FINISH her over something that small. how childish.
she hasnt gone behind your back its a 4month relationship. its nothing too serious just yet. your just getting started.
to all the people saying if she has it done knowing itd upset you, she doesnt like/love you.
what a load of crap.
my parents didnt want me to get ink work, at all, my dad got upset my mum cried loads, in the end they offered me thousands of pounds not to have it done, i still had it done? you know why? its who i am, i dont want to change for anyone not even to make my parents happy.
Scumbag.

I agree the OP is being a bit silly but I don't think I would ever do anything that upset my mother so much.
Scumbag!
Who's the childish one here?
Damn your theoretical girlfriend for having an opinion!

i had tattoos before i was with them, she knows i love them, why question it as it would only cause arguments? should love them for who they are.
