Woman Wakes Up, Finds Tattoo On Her Ankle

DES MOINES, Iowa --Hillary Snyder said she isn't going to let her boyfriend's antics get under her skin. Snyder, 20, awoke recently to find she had been tattooed by her boyfriend while she slept.

She said she took a painkiller with a sleeping pill before she went to bed Saturday night. When she awoke, she discovered a tattoo of a five-pointed star on her right ankle.

Snyder said she had previously told her boyfriend she didn't want a tattoo. He wanted her to get a tattoo of a five-pointed start to match one of his own, she said.

"At least he didn't flub it up," she said

The boyfriend wasn't identified. No arrests had been made. The investigation was continuing.

A police report accuses the now-former boyfriend of domestic assault. But Snyder isn't so sure.

"I mean it's not like he beat me up. There were no bruises or blood or anything. I'm just not going to see him again."

2. That happened to my ex-girlfriend.

Except, she actually went and got a tiny rose on her shoulder with her friends while trashed. Apparently, the rest of her friends didn't follow through and when she woke up in the morning, she was like, "why does my back hurt?" and lo and behold, there was a tattoo. She later got it removed and her son thought for years that it was a funky vein on her shoulder (green wasn't totally removed).

3. I would see that ass put in jail.

Nobody, and I mean Nobody, has a right to permanently mark someone else without permission like that.

If he thinks that this is acceptable then he obviously doesn't respect her choices, her control over her own body, or her as a person.

7. Oh man...I wish someone would do that to me!

Only, not a star. I want a blue butterfly tattoo on my ankle, but I'm too scared to get it done! :scared:

Seriously, though, I'd be pissed if I didn't give my permission for it.
