Why would they do that?

If there's one piece of tattoo advice I'd give, it's never to tattoo someone's name on your body. I don't care if it's your wife's name or your kid's name. There's a big chance you're going to regret it. If you and your wife divorce, you can get a cover-up tattoo, but it will always simmer just beneath the surface of your new tattoo. If your kid changes their name, you're going to be a constant reminder of the name they don't want to be called by. At least with kids' names, you have a better chance of not regretting it. 50% of marriages end in divorces, and with those odds, I don't think I want to tattoo anyone's name onto my body, even if I believe we will be together forever.

The person in this story took to Twitter to share a wild text they received from their ex-girlfriend about the tattoo of her name they got covered up. She found out about it, and she's not pleased.

The original poster clarified the context of these text messages with their ex

"It was a tattoo of her name that she wanted me to get and she paid for it.'

Fellow Twitter users were appalled by this request.

"That text is the most cooked combo of zero shame and full delusion I've seen in a minute. Like, you covered the tattoo you paid for, so now I deserve my coins back while I starve. Bro really typed that with a straight face. I'd block before the read receipt even hits.'

One person had the audacity to tell them that they should pay her back.

“Just give her money, it's the right thing to do. She paid for it, and it's valid. You're acting real childish.”

What would you do in this situation? Block her immediately, or try to come up with a sassy comeback?
