Love Isn’t Forever but a Tattoo Is
Last night I received an e-mail from a dear reader (shout out to Jennifer) who brought it to my attention that MJB Jr. went and got a tattoo of her new beau’s name. In case you didn’t know Key-Key has been dating a NBA player. His name is Daniel Gibson and according to her tattoo, he’s “Truly Blessed”. Yup, that’s what the tattoo placed on the front side of her left shoulder reads: Truly Blessed D. Gibson.
As Neffe would say “Are You Serious?????”
What in the world is he doing that has her skipping to the tattoo parlor? They haven’t even been together a year.
In order for me to even think about putting someones name on my skin they’d better have saved my life. I’m talking blood transfusion, organ donation, bone marrow transplant. Either that or give me million and millions of dollars. Maybe then I’d get their name on my body but it’ll be in a place where no one, not even I, can see it like the sole of my foot or the under carry of my butt cheek.
For the record, I do not have any tattoos and seeing how Ms. The Way It Is chooses to showcase her love and beliefs by inking them on her skin, I’m very content with my decision. Seems like the more tattoos you have the less selective you are resulting in shit like this:
- Yes, that says “#1 Dick Sucka” (SMH)
There is no image, symbol or name that I want on my body for the rest of my life. Hell, I’m trying to get rid of a birthmark and God wanted me to have that.
But seriously, Gibson must be knocking it all the way down to the ground. The look on her face says it all. The look on his face is kinda telling. (STSG prediction: This isn’t going to last)
I wondered how I would feel if someone got my name tattooed on their body. For one, I would be shocked followed by embarrassed and finally sorry for the guy cause I believe in bouncing and no tattoo is going to lock me in.
If you look at this picture, it’s clear the once little black girl lost is happy. The woman is glowing. Gibson must have that magic stick. Let’s just hope that Gibson isn’t her K-Ci and but instead her Kendu. Women have been known to let love misguide them. Cassie sent naked pics of herself to Diddy her boyfriend. Like Keyshia’s tatoo, images of Cassie’s cat trap will float around the Internet for eternity. Ri Ri got a tattoo that she shares with her sparring partner. I bet if she has his gov’t on her body she’d cut it off with a knife.
- Ri Ri’s Angel Wing
Don’t get it twisted, her half angel wing is stupid looking especially since C. Bruiser has the other half. E-V-E has a tattoo of her boo on her arm but got it covered after he cheated on her and they broke up.
Men have their WTF tattoo moments too:
Nick Cannon
Jermaine Dupri
Nas
There are many other ways I’d rather been shown that I’m loved. Let’s start with him paying my bills. Clear out my student loans and I’d marry you ASAP. He can also buy me a house. I’d make sure you have a copy of the key. Buying me clothes, purses, shoes, unlike most women, that means nothing to me. If you want to show me you love me, fix my credit.

Lmao.single girl this is why I love u. That’s why I said I hope he does not dog her out. I’m not hatin. Me and my boo been 2gether for a year and I will b damned if I do some shit like that.he get on my nerves enough. Not even when u get married….that shit don’t last. Maybe if ur lucky. But I just think you will regret that shit everytime he/she do some dumb shit. Yea… he just seems soooo nonchalant like “whatever, I’m getting bored with chick. She smothering me”. But who knows, I’m not apart of their relationship. I wish her the best though.

Maybe if it doesn’t work out, she can get the white pages and find another D.Gibson to hook up with…..

SMDH…
My sistas my sistas….
I have tattoos, but a man’s name is not one I plan on getting. I have my great aunt, aunt, and mom’s initials around my ankle, cause they’ve all battled breast cancer. That’s about as serious as it gets.
My thing is, tattoos are about something that will always be, and couples’ love is too fleeting to be permanently affixed to my person! Family love, love for your child, okay; someone you are just BOO’D UP with , not even a hubby? Nawsah, I’ll pass!

Before the lovebirds jump the gun on a premature relationship, maybe they should talk about other things a bit more important than a tattoo. People don’t treat their bodies like a temple, more like a landfill if you ask me. If you decide to get a tattoo, please make sure you have already acquired the bling, the nuptials are completed, and you are living in a house on a hill. The house on the hill is overkill, but I’m just sayin’…

Girl…I can relate! I don’t know what is wrong with people these days. TaToo’s are just a fad! In a few years another fad with hit the streets. Just like gold teeth and crowns in your mouth. Not too many people you see with a gold tooth or a crown around their tooth! Get hip-people don’t turn your body into a fashion statement!

I HAVE OVER 8 TATTOOS NOW AND THEY ALL HAVE SOME MEANING TO THEM. I DONT BELIEVE IN JUST GETTING A TATTOO WITH NO MEANING. NOW NAMES I THINK IT JUST DEPENDS. MY GRANDMA GOT MY GRANDPAS NAME ON HER BUT THAT WAS AFTER 50 YEARS OF MARRIAGE SO SHE KNOWS HE AINT LEAVIN HER :p. NOW AS FAR AS TATTOOS BEING A FAD. I DONT THINK SO, UNLIKE GOLD TEETH AND CERTAIN STYLES OF CLOTHES. TATTOOS CANT BE REMOVED THAT EASY.

Uhm…yeah…I would NEVER get a man’s name tattoed on my body.
@ Hotness1…you just proved the point exactly…you were dating someone else 3 years ago.Did you put his name also??Think about it.Does your boo have his name on your body??…that’s a whole other story if he does.Cause then you know if you 2 break up BOTH of you have to get that ish covered.Not just you alone.
Relationships are too unpredictable to take that route in my opinion.Get some earrings with his name or a bracelet or something…a pendant even.Buy name plates for your car.Keisha Cole doesn’t have a strong track record with dudes…don’t even know why she would do that so fast…patience will take relationships a long way.Moving too fast…SMH

On another note, women, just stop getting bad tattoos. Confused as to what a bad tattoo is? It’s on your neck. It circles your navel. Especially if your navel is no longer a circle but more of a smiley shape. It’s anywhere on your titty. It was done in a tattoo parlor that sells mixtapes and Hood DVD’s. It’s on your upper arm. Basically, if you’re going to get a visible tattoo, either go big or go home. If you have a full sleeve Japanese Koi design, I can respect it. But that hands clasped together in prayer (#27 on the wall) ain’t the business. Or that damn panther with the blood dripping from the claws. Thanks.

I have two tattoos 1 on both of my wrist my mans name of 7 years and my two girls initials under a heart with wing. He also got my name on on his neck. I guess it just depends on where your at in your life and who your with and if there with you.

At this point,do any of our opinions matter? What’s done is done and only Ms. Cole herself will have to deal with the outcome of her hasty decision. Would/could that be me? NEVER!! But that’s the clear cut point in the door, that’s me. With all decisions and matters of the heart, we have to maintain our DIGNITY AND GRACE through it all. For those who never had it to begin with or weren’t taught along the way, that’s the saddest part……………

I have a tattoo of my Fiance’s name on my right wrist. But we kinda broke up the other day and now i’m left with it. She has my name on her wrist too. I still don’t regret getting it done. I was in love, i still am in love and i want the tattoo to be a reminder of my time with my perfect woman. Man, why do i always have to screw things up :/

I love tattoos. I have a few…though none are visible to everyone….getting a tat with a loved one’s name is not smart however, tats can be changed or covered so all is not lost.
