My (22f) boyfriend’s (24m) new tattoo makes me feel like a pedestal baby

My boyfriend got a new tattoo on his arm, and it’s basically a replica of a drawing I drew a couple years ago. It was of this character from an online game we both play and love, and I just happened to draw her one night and he thought it was really good. He’s had it saved on his phone ever since, and he’s occasionally mentioned that he’d like to get it tattooed but hasn’t because tattoos are expensive. <br><br><br>Well, I was over his house last night and noticed this new tattoo on his arm, and it just hit me like a ton of bricks. I was so shocked, I didn’t even know what to say. My first thought was, oh my god, he really did it. <br><br><br>I think it’s just a bit weird and embarrassing, because now he has this permanent tattoo on his body of this drawing I came up with. He was acting like it was no big deal and it wasn’t like he was trying to hide it from me or anything, but it was still jarring to see. <br><br><br>When I told him how I felt, he just kind of shrugged and was like, “Yeah, no big deal.” And it’s not a big deal, really, it’s just this tattoo. But I don’t know, maybe I’m just being a baby but I don’t like that he has this permanent tattoo on his body that I drew, and I just wish he had consulted with me a little about it first. <br><br><br>I don’t know what to do. I feel like maybe I should just drop it, but I’m past the point of just being able to drop it at this point. I keep thinking about how permanent it is and I just feel icky. I don’t even know what I want from him, I guess just an apology or something.<br><br><br>What do you think I should do?
