My [22/F] boyfriend's [24/M] new tattoo makes me feel like a pedophile

So, we've been dating for 3 years now and everything is going great. He's honest, supportive, loyal.. etc. <br><br>Yesterday, he went to get a tattoo on his arm, and when he came back and showed me the tattoo, I didn't know how to react. It was a drawing of himself, when he was 10, standing next to his beloved deceased dog. He looked very happy about it too, as he has wanted to get a tattoo for a long time. <br><br>onestly, I stand behind his decision 100%, it's his body after all. But, the problem is that.. I just can't get over the fact that he is now "marked" with the face of a 10 years old child (essentially himself when he was 10) permanently on his body. I mean, he will have this tattoo his whole life, and it just feels weird to me to be his girlfriend, his partner, when he has this permanent picture. It's like, it makes me feel wrong, creepy, and honestly it disturbs me a little bit. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since. I feel like I'm overreacting because he has done nothing wrong. I mean, it's a picture of HIMSELF when he was 10 years old, and he wanted to commemorate/celebrate his childhood. <br><br>But, to be fair, I haven't felt like this when he told me that he wanted to get a tattoo. It's now that I've seen the finished tattoo, that I feel like this. Somehow, I felt more comfortable with it when it was an idea. I don't know.. maybe it's because I didn't know how the tattoo would actually look like in the end. But, now that he actually has the tattoo, I don't know.. I feel weird, I don't know how to explain it. I mean, I know it's permanent, but his gesture has hit me hard I think, I don't know. I'm not traumatized or anything, I just feel weird about it, but it's enough to be honest. I feel weird in my own relationship, and I think that's the problem. <br><br>Should I talk to him about it? I mean, I'm not going to ask him to get the tattoo removed, that's insane. They're permanent, I knew this. Should I just talk to him about it and tell him how I feel? Thanks. <br><br>TL;DR: I feel weird about my boyfriend's new tattoo.
