Throwaway account because my wife knows my main and this could get dicey.

My wife (32F) and I (34M) have been married for 5 years, pretty solid relationship, lots of love, the whole shebang. She's always been into tattoos, has this sick half-sleeve that really suits her, and I'm all for it. Not a tattoo hater by any stretch.

But now, she's talking about getting an underboob tattoo. And, I dunno, I just find the idea… not attractive at all. Like, I've seen them on other people and thought, "Cool for you," but on her? It just doesn't click for me.

I told her how I felt, tried to be as gentle as possible, saying I love her style and her current tattoos but this one's just not my jam. She got pretty upset, saying it's her body and her choice, which, fair enough, it totally is. But she also wants my support, which puts me in a weird spot.

Am I the asshole for not being on board with this? Should I just suck it up because it's her body, or is it okay to have an opinion on something that changes how I see her aesthetically?

Looking for some outside perspective here.

TL;DR: Wife wants an underboob tattoo, I'm not into it, she's upset I'm not supportive
