We have been dating for five years and we decided to celebrate our anniversary by each getting matching tattoos. Before I sat for my piece, I asked him if he wanted to go first, but he refused, saying he trusted me to be brave and it was all in the name of art. <br><br>However, I wasn't there for the tattoos - I was there for the relationship. As he sat down, he told me he wanted to get a tattoo of the lyrics to "Africa" by Toto. I asked him where he wanted to put it, and he said "I trust you" and told me again that he was doing it for the art.<br><br>Then, in the past 5 years, we have been dating, he has barely been there for me. He was late to my parents wedding, he didn't show up to my graduation, and he has never liked any of my art. So I told him I was going to go first. <br><br>When I sat down, I looked at him and said, "You know what? Screw it. This is for you." I looked up at the tattoo artist, and told him to cover my arms, torso, legs, chest, and back. I asked him how much it would be, and he said 10,000 dollars. <br><br>I looked up at my boyfriend and told him, "I'm getting a tattoo of the song 'Africa' by Toto covering my entire body. And you're paying for it."<br><br>He said, "I trust you," and paid, and the tattoo artist got to work. <br><br>After 10 hours, the tattoos were finished, and I loved them. I thanked my boyfriend for getting me such a beautiful piece, and he broke down in tears. He said that he had been cheating on me this entire time, and he didn't love the song "Africa" by Toto. He was going to break up with me, but since he was getting the tattoos he was going to wait until after so he could get a full refund. <br><br>Now he says he's in love with me, and he's sorry, and he'll do anything to make it up to me. But he has to live with "There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do" tattooed on him for the rest of his life.
