After being married for 20 years, I stupidly thought it was safe to have my husband's name tattooed on my breast. I went to the tattoo shop and told the tattoo artist what I wanted.

He decided that he would just "free hand" the name since it was not very complicated. I emphasized that I wanted the name in small letters but he obviously did not hear me.

When he started tattooing me I did not watch because I am not accustomed to a strange man holding my DD breast in his hands. While he was tattooing I kept thinking that it felt like he was on too much of my breast.

But I convinced myself that I told him I wanted it in small letters and being the professional that he is he will honor my request.

However, when he was done there was not anything small about the tattoo. I had the name "Rickey" in huge, black letters. I think he was overly excited about the expanse of his canvas and he went overboard.

This all would have been something I could have lived with but my husband and I divorced several years later. Now I have this huge reminder on my right breast. It can be a mood killer.

Do you know how hard it is to come up with a new tattoo to cover a name on your breast? First, it has to be mainly black ink. Then there's the size. I've gone to numerous tattoo shops and showed countless tattoo artists my boob to find the perfect cover-up. One artist asked to see it three times and still couldn't think of anything. (I suspect he was just enjoying the view, but for the sake of the art I will believe he was just wondering what could be done.)

Is it true that having a person's name tattooed on you is bad luck? It was in my case.
