AITAH for getting a tattoo?

F20 and my boyfriend M24 have been getting in arguments recently over my tattoos.

For some background information I love tattoos, they are very special to me and I am autistic. I get tattooed as a way to satiate my hyper fixations and honor them. It’s the only way that seems to stop the obsession, and I’ve always been fine with it since I love getting tattooed.

About 8 months ago I met my current bf, and we started dating. He always expressed how much he hated my tattoos and how he wished I didn’t have them. I understand it’s a preference but it hurt my feelings. Before I met my bf I made a tattoo appointment after being on this artists waitlist for over a year, and the date is finally coming up. My boyfriend has known this and seemed fine with it until recently. He gets antsy anytime I talk about it, and tells me how trashy it is, and sometimes even gets a bit violent out of sheer disgust. I already put the deposit down (400$) but my bf said if I go we would break up.

I told him how special this was to me but he doesn’t care. I don’t understand why hed choose to date me when he knew I’d continue to get tattoos. All of my tattoos are tasteful and nothing crazy, and I barely have any. I told him he could give me the 400 for the deposit or that I was going, and he’s ignored me ever since. (The appointment is for a small tattoo on my leg)

EDIT: for those wondering he said girls who have tattoos look “ran through” which is why he doesn’t like them 😭

EDIT 2: thank you for the kind words everyone. Just so you guys know he lied about liking my tattoos when we got together which Is why I thought it wasn’t an issue AITAH??
