ok thanks maybe i will tell her and see what happens if she did not like it then i will have to cover it with another tattoo.
gona ask one of the mods to close the post.
Asalaamu Alaikum, Here is a similar question that was asked to your situation that what should one do if one had a tatoo in the past?
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the inspirer of truth,
Tattooing is impermissible, and the Prophet (Allah bless him & give him peace) cursed the one both the one who gets tattooed and the tattooer.
If one has a tattoo from the past, one should repent and seek forgiveness.
Ibn Abidin mentioned in his Radd al-Muhtar, that the ruling for tattooing (washm) is the same as dying one's hair or clothing with a filthy substance: after washing the area, it is considered tahir, and the remaining trace is excused, because it is a trace that cane only be removed by operation, which is considered a hardship (in terms of the rulings related to purity and filth).
The purification, prayer, and imamate of such a person would be valid.
If it is possible to remove without excessive hardship, one should remove it, especially if it has impermissible images, and because it is a sign of un-Islamic ways. But if this is not reasonably possible, it is excusable.
And Allah alone gives success.

So my brother do not cover it by another tattoo because you can't cure haraam using haraam. Instead save up until you have enough for laser treatment and then get it permanently removed. As long as you have sincerely repented for having the tattoo done then you will be forgiven for it inshallah.
You should explain your situation to your wife and she will definatley understand that you had it done in the past and that you are a different person now. You should not assume that she will not be understanding. You will spend the rest of your life with her inshallah so you should feel that you can share anything with her and make her understand why you did what you did. She will understand your situation so there is no need to be paranoid now.
I will now close the thread as requested.
