TLDR; husband upset a man tattooed me
I recently started a traditional sleeve. It's going to be pieced together and I found a really good (male) artist nearby. I don't know many women in my area who do trad style, I really like his work, and he had availability and great prices so I just went for it. The first one I got, my husband was fine with. I told him before I reached out to the artist, showed him his IG, showed him the flower I was getting. After the appointment, I called him to let him know it went well, he was cool, and he's a powerlifter so we talked about the gym a lot.
The artist had missed a spot and had let me know to come in and he would give me a good price on my next one. So I sent him a couple of things and made an appointment for two more (my arm felt so incomplete with just one!). My husband knew about this appointment. The day of (yesterday), he was very distant. I invited him to come with me, but he said no. So I left, got them done, and came home. Now it's been almost 24 hours and he has not really spoken to me.
Today he came to me and said he's upset because I let another man mark me forever before he got to mark me.
He knew I wanted a sleeve. I've been showing him pictures of tattoos for months. He knows I have had issues with my body my whole life. He knew I never felt confident enough to be myself and do the things i want to do - and he was happy that I was finally trying to become the person I always wanted to be. My insta is literally full of girls working out, traditional tattoos, and girls working out with tattoos. I've wanted them for YEARS and I'm finally doing it.
Edit: he is not and has never been a tattoo artist.
