Eva Longoria Still Removing Tony Parker Tattoos – How a Woman Should Handle Ink in Her Relationship

Little did I know that Eva Longoria has not one, not two, but three tattoos having to do with her ex-husband, Tony Parker. She has the number “Nine” on the back of her neck (his basketball jersey number), their wedding date tattoo on her wrist, and his initials which are in a location she does not tell. Gee, wonder where it could be? Why bother mentioning it at all?

In any event, Eva has been working since January to rid herself of the “Nine” tattoo. From what I read in the article about tattoo removal, multiple sessions are needed and it takes several months. No word on whether she has made plans to have the other two removed. Ouch.

So, let’s talk about getting significant other tattoos. When you’re just dating, do not get a tattoo involving him. Even if you’ve been together for years, he’s promising marriage, or already has several about you. Do not, I repeat, do not put permanent ink on your body to commemorate your relationship.

Why? Because you don’t want him to know you’re that crazy about him. The woman a man chases is the one he isn’t quite sure he can land. If you’re tatting up your body, he’ll know just how in love you are and how much you want him. The mysterious and hard-to-get girl would never show her hand – especially if he hasn’t proposed.

If he’s proposed and set a wedding date or you’re already married, and he wants to get matching tattoos, that’s fine. But, don’t initiate it. Anything involving permanence in a relationship should come from the man. Let him take the lead.

Additionally, it should be something he really wants. Once he suggests it, don’t respond with, “Ohhhhh, I’ve always wanted to do that.” You’re too busy to think about how it’s been your dream to get tattoos about him. Just say, “That’s a sweet idea, let me think about it!” If he brings it up again, you can start discussing what his ideas are.

As for the size, something small will do just fine. If you have no other tattoos, do not go overboard. If you do have them, then still do your best to keep it as small as possible. Again, the fact you’re willing to do it at all will make him happy.

I’m not giving this advice because you’ll have fewer sessions when it comes to tattoo removal after you split. Not all relationships are doomed. The reason I say “less is more” is because it’s not a good idea to make such whopping over the top statements when it comes to men.

I frequently hear the best relationships and marriages are those where the man is more into the woman than she him. Pay careful attention to little things like tattoos. While it may not mean that much to you, how he perceives it could be an entirely other matter.

Until next time…

Shine like Platinum!
